I have two issues, the first of which wouldn't require changes to the
RC (phew!). The second issue would require a new RC to resolve but
could be considered optional.
Let's go ahead and fixing issue #2 for 2.066. We will need to produce
another RC anyway: there are at least three other issues that must be
addressed and tested prior to the final release.
As for issue #1, I have no problems creating the installers as outlined
below. I'll build and have them uploaded when I prepare RC2. My problem
will stem from knowing when to build D1 in the future because it never
really crosses my mind as something that needs to be done. But I'm sure
Walter or someone else will alert me when it's necessary to do so.
First issue:
As part of the installer revamp I took out D1 and DMC and made
separate installer scripts for them which the revamped installer will
optionally download and install if the user asks for them. This
requires installers for D1 and DMC to be built. It's as simple
downloading the latest D1 and DMC zips, extracting them, then running:
makensis /DEmbedD1Dir=<d1dir> /DVersion1=<d1ver> d1-installer.nsi
and
makensis /DEmbedDmcDir=<dmcdir> /DVersionDmc=<dmcver>
dmc-installer.nsi
And uploading the result to the DigitalMars FTP (at least) and the D
download site (ideally). The URLs the D2 installer expects are shown
here:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/installer/blob/master/windows/d2-installer.nsi#L66
This would only need to be done once and for every new release of D1
and DMC (which are few and far between).
I could do this for you and give you a link to download for you to
reupload but I think it's probably more appropriate to have it
generated by someone with more official standing. If you'd rather I do
it just let me know.
Second issue:
I removed the downloading of Curl from the installer with the goal
that we switch to just having it embedded with the rest. The release
builder script makes use of Nick's localextras zip. If my
understanding is correct we could just add curl to that zip and it'd
get included in the release. It's up to you whether to fix this for
2.066 or to just include it in 2.067. In the meantime, end users could
just do what they used to do to get curl: download and extract the
curl zip on the download page into the installation folder.
