Hey Guys and Gals,
Has anyone heard of chocolatey http://chocolatey.org/, a package manager
for Windows? Just discovered it a few days ago, and see there aren’t any
SDL packages. Any thoughts? I don’t mind maintaining it myself, but I
don’t want to start something that someone else has already taken up. Any
merits or downsides anyone can think of?

Would there be a need for it? Chocolatey is more geared for deploying
applications, it doesn’t at all map to the Linux package manager standard
of e.g. having every shared library as a seperate package with a dependency
list. Typically if a Windows application requires SDL, it bundles a DLL;
there isn’t an expectation that it should be preinstalled on the system.On 23 July 2014 09:10, Alex Barry <alex.barry at gmail.com> wrote:

Well, it would be more-so for developers than end-users, but it could work
for both if developers deploy their applications on chocolatey as well.
That’s not to say that I disagree with you that best-case scenario is
bundling with your own build of SDL upon deployment.

Ahh, as in NuGet, to let Visual Studio people get the latest build? That
would make a bit more sense… e.g. there’s an old 1.2 package available
http://www.nuget.org/packages/SDL/ . (don’t know much about NuGet save that
Chocolately was built off it, I’m guessing hardcore VS users will like it?)On 23 July 2014 11:29, Alex Barry <alex.barry at gmail.com> wrote:
