Reason for not using the latest NSIS release ? #6

Closed ThomasLecocq closed 7 years ago

ThomasLecocq commented 7 years ago

Hi,

We're having small issues with building installers on windows (inlcuding problems with too-long-names (like 100 char, you know, super long... ) and I was now wondering why the installed NSIS via conda is 2.46 (Released on December 6th, 2009) and not 3.0.1 (Released on December 11th, 2016) ?

Cheers, Tom

forget about it, conda/free has 3.0.1 in the default channel.

We were trying to match what defaults had, which was this old release. Since that has changed we can certainly update it. Have added PR ( https://github.com/conda-forge/nsis-feedstock/pull/7 ) to do so. Though, as this is a community, feel free to add PRs yourself to update things as needed.

Turns out a lot of extensions got bundled with the defaults copy of nsis. So bumping the version was not enough. We have just now fixed this in PR ( https://github.com/conda-forge/nsis-feedstock/pull/9 ).

@megies this should be ok for us to build win ObsPy installs
