Stellarium for Windows

[Alexander V. Wolf]

Howdy all!

I'm a maintainer of Stellarium and I have news for the community (devs and users). We are using AppVeyor + SignPath to prepare and sign the binary packages for Windows. Some time ago (around a month ago) we added support for Qt6 in addition to Qt5 builds of Stellarium. Qt5-based Stellarium can be 32-bit and 64-bit (include ANGLE support) and Qt6-based packages can be 64-bit only. The average size of installer is 350 MB and AppVeyor has artifacts download limit of 1024 MB/day. As result: we cannot prepare all the installers. So, possible solutions the problem - a) we'll remove some parts of installable stuff from installer (e.g., Stellarium User Guide) to reduce the size of installer or b) we'll drop some installers (e.g., 32-bit or Qt5-based 64-bit).

I want to hear the opinions of the community for the future of Windows packages - shall I use plan a) or plan b)?

Plan a is my choice.  We can get the User Guide elsewhere.
