[Gambas-user] Globally available Gambas components

[Gareth Bult]

Hmm...

So how do I get it out of the "todo" file and onto the "do" file ... ;-)

IMHO, one of the things that will make / break Gambas is it's ability (and the ability of Gambas applications) to be installed (and updated) on end-user systems.

At the moment upgrading Gambas components seems a little .. unfeasible.
Indeed updating programs isn't a piece of cake ..

I killed 5 users yesterday because I inadvertently added conquerer for online help and it turns out they were unable to build KDE on their systems .. so the app then failed to load .. :(

Is there anything we can do on this front to help ?

.. incidentally, I've yet to discover the how to use an installation package .. what does it do above and beyond a source archive?

Gareth.

Actually this needs some support from the IDE packager. I put that in the TODO 
file!
