There's no intentional policy, so far releases have happened irregularly. For Linux it is simple: release tarballs and let distribution packagers sort it out. There isn't a Free Software yum/apt repo for Windows, so we are obliged to put 'stable' installers in the sourceforge download area. Before the 0.7.0 release there were regular snapshot Windows installers on panotools.org and it would be good to do this for 0.8.0. Note that we don't expect Linux packagers to ask permission to release snapshots, so there is no problem doing the same for Windows, just please point people who don't want to participate in testing to the 'stable' installer on sourceforge. Slightly off-topic, does hugin still build with mingw? Fedora now has most of the hugin dependencies as mingw-* cross-compiler packages, it is potentially possible to build an NSI Windows installer entirely on Linux using the same tools used to build RPMs. -- Bruno --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
