Helix Installer Project
This is the Helix installer project.
The project currently provides 2 kinds of installers and can be extended to include another installer:
- Console Installer:
It is a very simple mechanism for creating a self-extracting tarball and only provides a console UI on unix. It is based on the Helix Server installer and is currently being used by the Helix Player.
- RPM Installer:
This is provided in the form of the installer/common/scripts/buildrpm.py script.
- DEB Installer:
The .deb installer can be provided by converting Helix Player's Debian package Umakefil to a generic builddeb.py script and then moved into the installer project.
