Christian et al, On the MinGW list <min...@li...> there's been some discussion of replacing the installer with a (sub-)package manager that handled dependencies, like apt+Synaptic. I suggested adapting MiKTeX's mpm, but the MFC-dependency was troubling to some. How much work would it be for the MinGW folks to adapt the command-line MiKTeX Tools to their own project structure? Can this be done without forking the code base? Basically, which is the better use of the MinGW developers' time: adapting mpm, porting apt, or roll-your-own? Thanks, --Joel |
