First, great points from all – it would be good if we could make it easier for folks to install from the web rather than having to manually run an installer from the shell.
It would be interesting if the Interval program could offer the ability to pull the makeself install package from a specified URL, then run it.
As a plug-in developer, I don’t know anything about makeself but a quick read makes it looks pretty straight forward. I can imagine making the complete package and placing it up on my web server for people to download pretty easily.
