I've not used the built-in installers for the platform for years myself now for these reasons, and more. I've been using InnoSetup, AppImage, deb, etc. I know other platform developers have been doing similar. I've been using Ant build scripts and shell scripts to produce so far - fully intend to replace with using this already, as well as for building some experimental IDE bundles in the near future. > it needs a better structure which makes it possible to implement app-specific > parts in the src of the app instead of all putting in the harness dir Are there particular app-specific things you have in mind? What customizations, packaging types, support, etc. might we need to consider if we take this route?
