Bazaar 2.6.0 for Windows?

[Chris Hecker]

Yeah, I agree, it just looks bad that there isn't a windows installer on
the site for the latest.

Is the launchpad project up to date?  Are there instructions that can be
followed relatively easily?  It looks bad that there's no 2.6 installer,
but it'd be worse to have a bad installer get up there.  If it's easy
enough I could maybe do it, assuming there were enough people to help test
it.

Who built the last one?  Couldn't that person do the new one easier than
anybody?

Chris

PS. The website is always so slow for me, is it for everybody?
