yeah i found it ;-) my qualm here is because this project is not the Pyjamas project, but rather it's direct descendant and replacement at pyjs.org: Pyjs. while i will not modify that page, i'm neither discouraging nor encouraging anyone else. in due time, when the codebase has diverged enough it's Pyjamas origins, a new Wikipedia page is more appropriate ... but now is probably not that time. > Unfortunately I'm missing any download link for a stable release with > the current state of the website - something that could help updating > the Wikipedia article -, also I can't figure that out on GitHub... > *blush* ah yes indeed ... the download link was in the header/sidebar and didn't make it to the wiki-generated site. i will fix this tonight, or more likely, tomorrow. > In general, we should follow up on all the other sites that provide > release versions of Pyjs.

I bet Luke did all or most of that himself. these have never existed AFAIK. i maintain the Archlinux package, and i vaguely recall someone mentioning a Gentoo overlay, but i'm not aware of any other packages save some random deb files on Luke's site. the one .deb from the download section was privately contracted to Luke by Lex, which he then shared with the rest of us. as for OSX/Windows, i don't think an installer has ever existed ... what is the installer suppose to do exactly? users only need the code to begin ... though perhaps a Windows one could setup the Trident/MSHTML runtime. this could be done automatically, like the website rebuilds, but i've not done any work here yet; if anyone can contribute the knowledge/script of how to accomplish, i can integrate into a the build tool. eventually, when waf is rocking, it can perform these tasks directly when building the release tarballs. -- C Anthony
