Native, stand alone installer for GRASS should be a high priority. I
guess we need both an XP and Vista version.

If modified to the osgeo4w tree, new native installers should be
relatively easy to create. The wingrass team seems to be a little
divided right now (native, mingw/msys, osgeo4w, cygwin, not to mention
lots of different user & developer wiki pages saying different
things), is there a consensus on where to take wingrass? (I should
note that I'm relatively new to the scene and therefore may be missing
longer-term trends and discussions.)

Michael,
I have just tried r.patch, v.patch and v.what.rast on the new
grass-6.4.svn release in osgeo4w (built on XP I assume), and haven't
had any problems with any of them. So perhaps these issues have been
solved.
Maybe I'm missing it somewhere in the many wiki pages, but is there a
complete list of vista related issues for me/others to test?
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/WinGRASS_Current_Status#Vista seems not
to
have been updated recently.
My two cents: I agree that an standalone installer is vastly
preferable to the osgeo4w format for the majority of windows users. I
have heard that Marco is not able to continue to supply these
installers, but did he document the steps required to create
installers somewhere? With the osgeo4w installer allowing for quick
compiles of new grass versions, there should be no reason why these
can't be continued.

Thanks Markus,
This will make the information more accessible.

Thanks Moritz,
I'm glad to see that this is possible at least, though it is by
no means
obvious. I will try to find a place to archive this information
as I will
be
again doing a lab course later this spring. The fact that critical
information for creating a stand-alone package is buried in a
blog is
problematic--though I know that all are very pressed for time.
easy to solve: I have added it here:
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/pkg-grass
-> Lab Installation as offline set of packages
It would not harm of course to move the relevant into to that trac
page rather thank linking around.
