Sure, there's always a possibility that someone could have installed some incompatible version or manually edited some version that should have been compatible. I just not sure how big a chance that would be. And I don't agree we'd need to test on more combos, just standard Leopard. Also Debian-based distributions especially have gotten the dependencies down something excellent. We already have a .deb installer for Chandler but it lists just a couple of dependencies. On Gutsy Gibbon we could perhaps go with system Python as well. One of the main reasons why I am eager to do this is because of the download sizes. New Lucene bumped the download sizes on Linux and Windows considerably, and we still aren't nowhere decent on Macs either: Platform | 0.7.0.1 | r15419 =========+=========+======= Win | 18.6 | 29.8 PPC Mac | 44.0 | 44.3 Intel Mac| 33.3 | 29.8 Linux | 26.6 | 40.1 -- Heikki Toivonen
