Installer & automatic deployment

[ghost]

Need installer for all major platforms that can be automatically deployed from jenkins

[Cervator]

Could use a bit more detail on what we need here exactly :-)

Need the applet set up right again, there's an issue for that around here somewhere. We also have a Windows exe and scripts for both Linux and Mac inside the zip hosted by Jenkins.

Do you mean we just need OS-specific download options? Run out of the box without extracting? Inclusion of Java setup?

[ghost]

On commit to jenkins 3 fullyautomatic installers are build (linux,mac,windows) + the applet gets redistributed to our webpage. Pure user versions, without source.

Shouldn't be hard to provide three different binaries, but is there anything we can do other than exclude the launchers for the other OSes? I guess the natives dir could also be made to exclude the other OSes, but do we gain much from that? :-)

If you mean full OS installers like with InstallShield/InstallAnywhere or something, including Java setup, that would be different and certainly very useful. We could still offer the generic binary package with plain launchers too.

Well installer doesn't necessarily mean install shield (but can go into that direction) in the beginning a self extracting archive with all assets (music, models, etc..) and executalbe

@KaiKratz What is missing?

Closing since this is covered by the launcher project
