Look at binary packaging solutions #29

Open windymilla opened 9 months ago

Consider pyinstaller et al and see what works on a Mac with its digital signing, etc.

tangledhelix commented 9 months ago

I already paid for an Apple Developer account so I'll volunteer to test anything involving signing. And if it works, to maintain the Apple packaging.

Just a note to mention #274 will end up intertwining with this.

Given our current installation method is relatively simple (install python then pip install guiguts) what are people's thoughts on how urgently we need to do this? I suppose whether it needs to be before or after the first beta release (when we will claim that GG2 is suitable to use for the whole PPing task).

srjfoo commented 3 days ago

Given the hoops users have to jump through to install GG1, still, I don't think that it's unreasonable to ask them to do the python install (if they don't have it) and use pip install guiguts well into beta (depending on how many beta releases there are).

IMO it’s not urgent for beta phase really. As @srjfoo points out, GG1 release is complex enough that the pip approach isn’t a higher bar anyway.
