[Wordforge2-devel] Finishing 0.7

Dear Friends,

We have finished the code for WordForge 0.7, and we are now working on 
the installers.

After solving a few problems with the tools (py2exe), we have been able 
to package 0.7 RC1 for Windows, and Rafi is doing the final testing to 
ensure that everything works as in Linux.

For Python 2.5 on Linux, we seem to be able to create .deb packages, 
after solving a few issues with permissions, and eliminating all the 
code related to installation of libraries that we now consider as 
dependencies (Hunspell, pyEnchant, lxml...).

What have we done with Leversthein, integrated or considered it as a 
dependency?

Gonzalo comments that there are also a couple of lines in setup.py about 
management of dictionaries that are no longer used.

The main issue seems to be using Python 2.6, which is included in some 
of the latest Linux distributions, without python 2.5.

Gonzalo has been investigating the use of pythoncentral, which copies 
the files to /usr/share/pyshared/... independently of the version of 
python used. He has got retty good results with this on Debian and 
Ubuntu with 2.6, and can use the old version of setup.py that Javier 
Pais wrote, and it is not necessary to identify the version of python 
installed... except that for python 2.6 it is unable to detect the path 
for the images. The application works, but the images are not displayed. 
Gonzalo says that it is necessary to modify the paths for the images.

Gonzalo, you have to do this by hand after you install? Does it work 
correctly after you do?

Can you explain the step for using pythoncentral that you have used to 
create the .deb?

Gonzalo proposes separate packages for different versions of the 
distributions.

He will be sending some bugs that he has detected, which we should fix 
in RC2.

Cheers,

Javier
