Hey,
Unless the installer needs to be ready within a week for 1.17 I don't see any issues.
I want to make structural changes, not add new features. The sooner these are made, the less overall work my GSoC project will be.
As I'll be doing all the work on these changes, and am not skipping any other work on the new installer to do so, the progress on the new installer should not be impacted negatively.
Cheers

Hey,
Basically splitting core-specific stuff from general installer

steps towards filesystem upgrades possible.
The point of this mail is not discussing what I want to do though, but rather avoiding commit conflicts, as I don't know which people are
working
on the code right now, and who has uncommitted changes.
There's still quite a lot of work to do to get the new installer ready for 1.17. I think we should focus on that, and avoid expanding the scope of the project until we've reached that milestone.
There are the issues discussed here:

and more will become apparent as more testing is done.
If the new installer is not ready to replace the old installer when it comes time to branch 1.17, I will move it out of trunk, back to a development branch. Hopefully that won't be necessary.
