To clearify, just because it's written in QT/C++ (though I'm not a big |
| 15 |
fan of either QT or C++) doesn't rule out functional/practical, stable, |
| 16 |
what do you mean by safe? (safe as in user-can't-do-it-wrong?) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
What is really the issue here is the functionality we need. Since this |
| 19 |
is done on Bevins (and perhaps mine) sparetime there is another priority |
| 20 |
you forgot above. The fun of doing it, otherwise it won't get done. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
So, the reason for a GUI installer is simply that both Bevin and me |
| 23 |
thinks it would be fun to write one. And we think that it would benifit |
| 24 |
the users. Of course there will be an alternative of installing it in |
| 25 |
the same way as it's currently done. |
