OK, if we start to include Jabref and LaTeX2RTF, where do we stop?
That was my initial interaction with Uwe's inclusion of Jabref. It is
good to take care of user's need but Uwe's installer has gone too far
down that road in that it takes care of too many issues of third-party
applications. Besides maintenance troubles (what if a new version of
something is released?), inclusion of third-party applications may
drag lyx into some license issues.
That is why I am in favor of Joost's installer. It is perfectly fine
to me if Uwe's installer is maintained in the wiki so that users who
like the completeness or userfriendliness of this installer can get
it. Making it official by putting it in the trunk is not a good idea
IMHO.
Putting it in trunk does not magically make it "official"... the same
way as scons and cmake are not official.
Please let the guy work on it in svn. Who knows, maybe it would be
possible at some point to merge the two installers.
Reverting or merging or whatever, I agree with Michael that there
should be only one installer when 1.5.x is released.
Replace that with "one official installer" and I agree.
