Hi everyone!
Profile selection has been removed from installer. It remains in the
rest of the application (of course)
Just to give a bit of background on this decision:
I had been thinking about it for a while now and was on the fence. In
discussions at the TorontoTikiFest4 with Pascal St-Jean, who is
leading profiles effort, I became convinced removing profiles from
installer is the best option.
Benefits:
1- Simplify installer code
2- Users have less choices and worry of making the wrong one at install time
3- Profiles in installer didn't have user input mechanism, which is
very important. (and would have been more work to add)
This will streamline our profiles strategy.
In retrospect, they should never have been there. I think we were
conditioned by the fact the old profiles system were at installation
time only. If our profiles had been what they are today since the
beginning, we perhaps would have never added them to the installer.
This is a litmus test of sorts in deciding if something is a new
feature and should be optional, vs a better new behavior that
everybody should get.
Best regards,
M ;-)
