Here are my thoughts: Bundling ---------- I don't have a problem with bundling per-se provided we are judicious about what gets bundled. In issues like this I think its instructive to look at what other installers do and I think its pretty clear that bundling dependencies is the norm, not the exception. That being said, I don't have a big problem with downloading dependencies on-demand either. I don't think there is a big difference in the user experience in either case. So I could live with either solution. Building the installer automatically on emu -------------------------------------------------- The idea that a compromised Emu could lead to the compromising of tens of thousands of Freenet users is very scary indeed. That being said, this is a risk with any software that is downloaded from a web server anywhere. Its more a bug in the lax security models of today's operating systems, than in anything we are doing in particular. Again, I think we should look to the norm for other software, and the norm is that automatic building of in-development software is pretty common (Firefox, etc). Ian.
