I would for vote for the launchers being an exception. Platform apps will struggle being cross-platform if they need various OSes to build the launchers. So, I want to have the code for the launchers in the repository, but also pre-built convenience binaries since they change extremely rarely and they are a drag to generate yourself. --emi On Mon, May 8, 2017 at 10:36 AM, Bertrand Delacretaz <[email protected] > wrote: > On Sun, May 7, 2017 at 12:13 PM, Geertjan Wielenga > <[email protected]> wrote: > > ...3.
