Possible virus scanning bugs w/ UPX packing #142

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I've heard that the following programs have trouble detecting UPX'd exes as 
vaild:

BitDefender
eSafe
Ikarus
Webwasher-Gateway

Now, I don't think we should care too much about cheapskate virus scanners, so 
nightlies can still be UPX'd. But perhaps our Web Demo and Full Install exes 
should remain unpacked. I'd rather not deal with people complaining about 
something that's not WZ's fault and not UPX's fault, even if we could have 
saved some space otherwise.

Ok, here's what my policy is:
  1) Release nightlies with UPX.
  2) Release full versions without it. (They have the User's Guide, so they're big anyways).
  3) If people demand a small release, create a "Tiny" release which is just the EXE with UPX.
