Hello!
I'm seeking advice on better way to reorganize
Windows Maxima installer for next release.
Basically we have two extreme options:
A. Put all items in single large installer
and let the user select desired components
as options at installation time.
B. Split installer on several small
installers - main installer for core
system and several add-ons.
A is simpler from user's point of view but
result in bigger installer size.
Right now have the following more or less
independent components:
1. Maxima core with command line maxima 10 Mb
2. omplotdata 1.5 Mb
3. xmaxima 2 Mb
4. wxMaxima 3 Mb
5. ES and PT language packs 1 Mb each
I'm inclined to incorporate 1-4 in one installer
and package 5 as add-on packages.
Any comments are greatly appreciated.
Vadim
