Great, then I'm sure your contribution of these code changes will be forthcoming soon? Yes, I'm joking. As was explained to me - it is not just that it is a huge job, it is a monstrous job that would essentially require rewriting the entire code base from scratch. I have also heard horror stories from very experienced programmers when they start getting into the code. So, again, no one is saying this wouldn't be a wonderful thing, it is simply not something that is feasible at the moment. > Having created installers before - namely MSI's - there should > ultimately be no reason why the installer should be broken down as: > > - core LO libraries used by each package And again, the point is, these core LO libraries used by each (assuming you mean used/shared by all packages) consist of 98% of the size of the download, so the cost/benefit ratio is just not worth it. -- Best regards, Charles -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
