xivulonevand, ping13:46
evandxivulon: pong14:00
xivulonevand, can we move forwards on the 2 patches in email?14:03
xivulonI would like to have a couple of weeks for wubi point release tests14:04
xivulonit is not possible to boot the new wubi without those patches14:04
xivulonI did some quick tests with python, it is really tough to go below 4.5MB14:06
evandI'll look over them today.  As far as bundled Python goes, I'll bring it up during the Platform Team meeting and see if we can find the space for that or see if anyone has a reasonable alternative.14:08
xivulonthe only options are: 1) write an abstraction laywr on top of ctypes to access win32 api/MFC 2) .net (over my dead body) 3) HTA using IE as backend and/or shipping a webkit/gecko to render a gui14:08
evandWhat's wrong with .NET, just out of curiosity?14:09
* evand actually likes C#14:09
xivulonI think it is a great technology but I am ideologically against it, wubi will force many users that do not yet have .net to install .net just to run wubi14:09
evandThe only people without .NET are pre-XP SP1 users, IIRC.14:10
xivulonis 1 that bad?14:13
xivulonthe abstraction layer is not like rewriting wxwindows. All interface elements I need are labels + buttons + listboxes + text/pwd + progressbar and without layouts14:14
xivulonthat will come to about 2M compressed14:14
evandIt's not bad per-se, I just don't see the point in dealing with the hairiness of MFC when you can use .NET and Windows.Forms.  Personal preference.  If you feel MFC is the best solution, by all means, go with that.14:15
xivulonevand I think I will rather suffer... but venster should greatly alleviate the pain...15:03
evandheh, fair enough15:05
