Installer v3.1, v3.5, ...NG, New... (get a script first!)
Currently more and more news are read about different Installer programs. Not only
OS3.5 has finally brought an update to the old C= Installer, "the others" are active,
too.
But to be honest, it's not about looking better and having more
features, but who is most compatible and handles script errors best.
It's because the scripts are the weak spot, not the Installer. Installer
is much more capable than most people are aware of. Well, I am right now facing the
task of writing such a script myself, and so I came up with the idea to create a
library with functions. After some talks with several people, it changed into something
completely different, an Installer Script Maker. Right now in beta demo v0.1 (0.2 in the
pipe), it should quickly turn into an Installer make system. The whole thing is an Installer
script itself. This means that someone wanting to write a script will simply have to
start the Installer, edit the basic rules and wait. Of course some little C programs
are running in the background to simplify things.
The complete system
will be expandable on a modular layer, create scripts as uniform as possible (created
from ready modules) which will be protected against errors as good as possible with
growing usage and experience.
I hope this will finally bring us error
tolerant installations handled in a uniform manner. Extras like backing up system files
before overwrite, or ready translations of standard functions in as many languages as
possible will be only a small step from there.
If you want to see how
the first attempts looked like (no longer up-to-date), I posted the beta 0.1 on my
homepage. The documentation is English for now, so a maximum number of people understand
it.
I'd like to see this as basis for discussions of all interested.
And now I have enough work putting the file lists in the interactive script...
