Speller meeting
What is needed for a new release:
- a working installer
- working plx conversion
Installer
DONE:
- find e-mail address for UiT/IT staff that has helped us earlier, send e-mail
TODO:
- test MSI package, esp. with admin install and different Win/Office combos (UiT/IT, Sjur)
POSTPONED:
- find an outsourcing option (Børre, Sjur)
- next week: try updating NSIS ourselves (Børre, Sjur)
- using Tino’s documentation & old docu’s from PLX
- send a request to an NSIS developer e-mail list (Sjur)
- try to find an NSIS script for building MSI packages (Børre)
- add Windows 8 support to our installer (if possible)
PLX conversion
The latest PLX file is substantially smaller than earlier, only 6,5 Gb vs 25+ Gb earlier. The change has happened during the last day or two.
One ommission - that can’t explain the reduced size - is that particles like almma, bat, ges, han have been lost in the latest spellers.
Remaining PLX bugs:
