Great idea, Rolf.

However, I think you'd be making it a bit more complicated than it needs to be as I have a tendency to do sometimes.

A complete Gambas installation (ie. with IDE and all its dependencies) is not required for a mere application install. A
developer should be savvy enough to figure out how to do that if desired.

But, a regular user might indeed appreciate some simple installation streamlining as Mike is attempting.

Oh, and don't forget yum. You might also want to be careful of (mis?)representation, eg.:

~> which apt-get
/usr/bin/apt-get

~> which zypper
/usr/bin/zypper

~> apt-get --version
zypper 1.13.38

~> zypper --version
zypper 1.13.38
