Glynn, >I would suggest two installers: one for GRASS alone, and one for the various dependencies (PROJ, GDAL, MSys, ...). The idea is that you shouldn't have to download all of the dependencies each time a new version of GRASS is released.
we could do as follows: 1. a *complete*, *first time* GRASS installer, based on latest release, with all the dependencies built-in 2. and *updater*, installed along the *first installation*, that check the WinGRASS repository looking for last GRASS updates, and download/install only the latest updated files (both for GRASS and dependencies). It would be not an easy work, but I think that I'll can do it... even if not very soon :-) Marco ________________________________ Da: Glynn Clements [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Inviato: mer 16/04/2008 10.20 A: Moritz Lennert Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 'Martin Landa'; 'GRASS developers list' Oggetto: Re: R: [GRASS-dev] GRASS 6.3.0 to be released Moritz Lennert wrote: > > It would be good also for me, even if it would better if we release it on > > next week tough (I'm very busy now).

The idea is that you shouldn't have to download all of the dependencies each time a new version of GRASS is released. An ideal solution would be to use Cygwin's Setup utility, but I don't know how much work would be involved. -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
