I disagree... the way I see it working is: 1. The devs provide one standard 'diff' file for any/all platforms to use - it would be up to the individual packagers to take that diff and apply it according to the standards imposed by their package management system. 2. The current 'internal' 'updater' (which is more like a notifier and download manager now) could become a Windows-only true 'Updater' that applies the diff in the 'Windows way' (just please don't make a system reboot a requirement)... -- Best regards, Charles -- To unsubscribe, send an empty e-mail to [email protected] All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted.
