- How about calling your package msysGit-netInstall-<version>.exe?
No problem. Feel free to reupload it with a different name.
mingw.git as well... Still, on dial-up, 40MB or 60MB makes a
difference, no?
Sorry, I didn't have dialup for years so I don't take it into consideration.
Still 60MB is not that dialup unfriendly.
- There is one big caveat with your bootstrapper: things have been known
to break, and I think msysgit.git is no exception. So I'd like to have
a fallback in case things go awry, also to have something that is tested
(for example, Mike tested msysGit-0.4.exe before releasing it). Of
course, we could solve that issue by branching off of the last release
tag.
That, or better yet always maintain master branch in a working condition. Seriously.
If it (VERY rarely) breaks we'll just revert the offending checkin to bring it back in shape.
Where I come from, 'main' or 'master' should ALWAYS be functional.
- AFAICT it is possible to make nicer installers with 7-Zip, and also
I have no preference here. I just use what I know (WinRAR).
If you feel strongly about 7zip (which I can see you do for some reason :-) feel free to repackage it.
- I wanted to hold off a little, until Hannes can apply the fix-up patch
we need in mingw.git. Because when he does, your bootstrap will run
into problems...
Not sure why...
It would
be nice to have insight in how you went about to identify what is needed?
Well, I've set path to a single directory (C:\GitMe\bin), copies over bash and git-clone
and started running it until it worked. Which happened surprisingly fast.
