    Any chance we can get a MorphUP package for Ambient? I think it would
    be cool to have the option to install the builds with it.

    @acill:

    i talked with natmeg already.

    but as long its not possible to create pmi files w/o manually have to make the package with the GUI it simply makes too much work to make it for every nightly.

    And I play with the thought to automatice nightly stuff even more (aka using a cron script for it which does the build and uploads it to website automatically to save gunne some work).

    And MorphUP is simply not up for that atm. If we do a full release a .pmi file maybe could be done if someone wants to do the work, thats it.

    (and anyway.. nightlies are for experienced users only anyway, so if you don't know how to install ambient manually you shouldn't use a nightly either ;-) )

    regards,
    tokai

    I just thought it would be nice to have. At least have the release version of it in a pmi format.

    IS any of your software available as MorphUP packages?

    @acill,

    no for quite the same reasons. I'm too lazy and busy to make a .pmi each time manually. :)

    The release archive itself I can make on-thy-fly by entering make release in source directories of my projects.

    Hi,

    I made a MorphUP package of one build.

    Find it here: LINK

    You need to unpack the package using MorphUP to some location in your system, and when unpacked use the included installer for proper installation.

    Read always the changelog before using a daily build. http://daily.ambient-desktop.org

    Please take also notice of what tokai wrote above.
    Best wishes, Gunne
