Just a question regarding the contents of the binary packages... I assume they contain: * All of core OSG (osg, osgUtil, osgDB, osgViewer) * All the NodeKits (osgShadow, osgSim, osgGA, etc.) * All the applications (osgviewer, osgconv, etc.)
Questions: * Do the binaries also contain all the examples? * What about viewer examples for the various windowing systems (wx, qt, etc.)? * And which (if any) plugins were excluded? This info is for the new Quick Start Guide. Thanks.

As package maintainers, I think we should provide separate packages as you say, or averything ('all' + separated).

I saw that "Cygwin" and "nmake" sections on http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Community/PackageMaintainers ... Is there any difference between *binaries* generated from MinGW-gcc and Cygwin-gcc? And for nmake, I guess it uses the MSVC compiler, right? So binaries are not different from "pure" MSVC ones, or am I wrong? >> This could be confusing: if you use an "nmake" build, will this be a VC7, VC8, or VC9 one? Moreover, I thought that Cygwin, MinGW and nmake packages are named against the compiler (it shows "gcc" and "vc" in the name). So I suggest these sections to be removed, but I just need confirmation. > > I'm the one who put those sections, I don't even know if they're needed. > You could remove them and someone else can add them in the future if > they're really needed.
