[pygtk] PyGTK Installer(Was: Pygtk.org website IRC Meeting)

[jo Maquiling]

Hi :
I have my idea but i thinks its very awkward  .   
My idea is to just copy the links of each program Python and GTK and remove the former links installed by programs. Anyway its just a shortcut in "Start Menu/Programs" and it would not affect execution of the program.   
A script maybe would look like this.

  SetOutPath "$SMPROGRAMS\PyGTK\Python 2.5\"
  CopyFiles "$SMPROGRAMS\Python 2.5\*.lnk" "$SMPROGRAMS\PyGTK\Python2.5\"

  SetOutPath "$SMPROGRAMS\PyGTK\GTK\"
   CopyFiles "$SMPROGRAMS\GTK Demo.lnk" "$SMPROGRAMS\PyGTK\GTK\"
    CopyFiles "$SMPROGRAMS\Theme Selector.lnk" "$SMPROGRAMS\PyGTK\GTK\"
   CopyFiles "$SMPROGRAMS\Uninstall.lnk" "$SMPROGRAMS\PyGTK\GTK\"

 ; then delete the former installed link by issuing this:


Delete  "$SMPROGRAMS\GTK Demo.lnk"
Delete  "$SMPROGRAMS\Theme Selector.lnk"
Delete  "$SMPROGRAMS\Uninstall.lnk" 

RMDir  /r  "$SMPROGRAMS\Python 2.5" 


By the way in my computer , the shortcut of Gtk is in the "Star Menu/Program" when I expect that to be installed in the folder "Star Menu/Program/GTK", maybe its because i have already that folder. That I dont know, thus you may notice that I get the link of the GTK  on the "Star Menu/Program"


But i believe its good if we could talk to the packager of the both GTK and Python such that they could provide a runtime parameter for the destination in the start/menu program. 

Thanks.

I think I need to set up a webpage, svn and bugzilla for this. I would like to merge this into a common project inside the gnome project (they're migrating from CVS to SVN so it's a good moment to do it) with Cedric Gustin, I'm waiting for his opinion and I hope to have the proper tools to address this issues. 

Just a suggestion though :) 
Thank you very much for your suggestion.
