--- Comment #8 from Chris Maynard <christopher.mayn...@gtech.com> 2010-12-14 11:24:17 PST --- (In reply to comment #7) > The installer is now self-contained and, while it will generate NSIS code you > could drop into your build system, it will only work with NSIS Unicode with a > specific set of plugins.

I'm not entirely sure how this will change the builds for us. Currently, it looks like only the Windows-XP-x86 buildbot is building the Wireshark portableapps package (http://buildbot.wireshark.org/trunk/waterfall), so I'm guessing it means installing the PA.c Installer on it, then some changes to the portableapps makefile.nmake file ... or something along those lines? I think the only NSIS plugin we're using is FindProcDLL (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/FindProcDLL_plug-in). Is this one among those that will work? If so, would it be possible to have the option of creating the portableapps installer either way - i.e., keep creating it the way it's been done thus far, or create it with the PA.c Installer? I don't know if this would really be necessary but just thought I'd ask. > The only other things needing changes would be the files in AppInfo as we've > updated the format.

If/when Wireshark becomes listed, where would the installer home be? I guess a new page would need to be created as http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/wireshark_portable, and then the installer would need to be copied over to sourceforge.net? How do you foresee that working as each new release comes out? Also, I assume only the latest stable portableapps version would be listed, is that correct? For older versions, or for the latest unstable versions, would there exist any link back to www.wireshark.org for obtaining those?
