It is already done in 5.1.5 versions of installer - tar.(gz|bz2|lzma) are autodetected. Attached .bin, source and example mingw.ini Or grab and compile them from bazaar repository at launchpad https://code.launchpad.net/~techtonik/mingw/installer > If .7z, then the full LZMA SDK will have to be > bundled in the new installer's source code, and approriate gluecode > added.

Speaking about NSIS I guess nobody would mind against .7z plugin, but so far nobody stepped in. Usually people just bundle .exe with distribution, but 7z extraction dll is rather big - 260kB compared to 52KB of Untgz plugin. Things may change though if the dll could be recompiled without .ISO, .DEB, .ARJ, .CHM, etc. support and linked against mini c library. -- --anatoly t. |
