hi, regarding our mac version, there are two things bugging me most (except for the graphics window, of course): - the bundle size - the missing update mechanism
it seems the space needed for installation could be reduced by roughly 360M if
we strip it of all static libraries. i'll try to change the portfile so that
only dynamic libraries are being built in the first place, as by default
MacPorts builds both.
@aaron: if you'd like to try right now you can do the following:
- open a terminal
- create a folder to backup the libraries, say
sudo mkdir /Users/<my_user>/rkward_static_libs
- move all of RKWard's static libs there:
sudo mv /opt/rkward/lib/*.a /Users/<my_user>/rkward_static_libs
- work as usual -- you shouldn't run into problems
if all went well, you can delete the backup directory.
as for the update, it seems custom to install all of a bundle to
/Applications/<my_bundle>, and uninstall it by dragging this folder to trash.
currently, most of the RKWard bundle is installed to /opt/rkward, so you have
to remove both folders to get rid of it. i'm thinking maybe we should drop the
/opt/rkward location and have MacPorts install all the Qt and KDE stuff to
/Applications/RKWard as well. probably to a hidden folder, so users won't get
confused, or maybe there's some other secret magic technique apple invented to
make the app folder appear clean...
and finally, i think i need to checkout homebrew some time, as i've just read
it can be used for packaging as well, and KDE seems to be available.
