Genuine question, not sarcasm: What would the Windows-hosted ssh be needed for? Maybe there's another way to achieve the same effect, like running an SFTP server on the linux side? > In any case, the various OS releases *do* have their own custom > downloads, AIUI, those are installers.

On every system I put DMD in, I have to extract around 100MB of irrelevant binaries, just to then go and delete them (!) or else accumulate 1GB of junk per 10 DMDs. On top of all that, it significantly increases both download and extraction times. The problem I don't understand is what's so wrong or problematic with having the packaging scripts just generate separate OS archives instead of separate OS directories within one archive. _______________________________________________ dmd-beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo/dmd-beta
