[kepler-dev] test installers

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Chad,
Congrats on getting installers built!

Mac osx installer
1. "Please read the following information" screen
         "Kepler is based on Ptolemy II version 7.0.2"
        change to
         "Kepler is based on Ptolemy II 8.0"

        Should the links to http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu be live?


2. Should there be an "Accept License" screen?
The licensing issue is complex, a complete

3.  Spaces in installation directory cause problems:
      Using /Applications/Kepler 2.0.0 1 results in

   Usage: hdiutil attach [options] <image>
   hdiutil attach -help
    hdiutil: attach: extra image argument "2.0.0" -"/Applications/Kepler"
     already specified
    The file /Volumes/R-2.9.0/R.mpkg does not exist

    Then, starting Kepler.app fails, the Console says:

3/23/10 9:27:37 AM [0x0-0x3be3be].Kepler[56630]      [null] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 2/0/0


4. If you want the installer to optionally start Kepler, see
    ptII8.0.beta/adm/gen-8.0/ptII8_0_beta_setup_windows.xml
    in the rel_8_0_beta_2 branch.  The key bits are that I set some conditions
    and then use a ProcessPanel, which is configured with  ProcessPanel.Spec.xml


5. ptolemy/kernel/attributes/VersionAttribute.java is missing

bash-3.2$ ls /Applications/Kepler-2.0.0-beta1/ptolemy-8.0/src/ptolemy/kernel/attributes/
README.txt	makefile	package.html	test

6. The version of Ptolemy that is shipped appears to be from the devel tree,  not the
     beta branch.  For example, ptolemy/apps should not exist, yet it does.

bash-3.2$ ls /Applications/Kepler-2.0.0-beta1/ptolemy-8.0/src/ptolemy/apps
README.txt		giotto			p1000
actorsTutorial09	iRobot			ptalon
apes			ia			ptides
apps.xml		interfaces		throttle
classic			jni			transmission
eclipse			makefile
fullscreen		naomi
bash-3.2$


Gotta run, I'm at a conference.
