调研方向

Start by reviewing the Linux package variants, Windows MSI build outputs, website Downloads section, and release bundle packaging. Assess each requested change for compatibility and maintenance impact across supported platforms. Done means deciding which installer and documentation changes are feasible and updating the release artifacts and download listings accordingly.

描述

Hello @idrassi, big thanks for the new version 1.26.30.

VeraCrypt has many installers (Windows, macOS, Linux, and even Raspberry Pi).

The Linux installers are kind of overwhelming, maybe these change could be achieved to avoid redundancy and stop maintaining many files/architectures.

  • The "Console" packages of Debian/Ubuntu and RPM could be deprecated, because the "GUI" already contains the CLI options. The "GUI" packages are like a "superset" of "Console" packages.
  • The 32 bits versions could also be deprecated (like you did for Windows and macOS installers a long time ago). Nowadays, it's very strange to see a 32 bits OS, even for "Minimal"/"Server" Linux distributions. System requirements for Windows and macOS need a modern system, so this could also be applied for Linux.
  • About Windows MSI installers, only if possible, both MSI files (x64 and ARM64) could be merged into a single file; like EXE ("Setup") installer.
  • In the Downloads section of the Main Site (https://veracrypt.jp), you can post the Russian and Chinese versions of the "User Guide CHM". These are only available on Launchpad, they are like "hidden".
  • The "Bundle containing all release files" is a ".7z" format. Maybe the ideal format can be a ZIP file, even if the bundle size would be larger, because it's more compatible across all Operating Systems. If a user wants to have a Bundle, it needs to be easy to extract without requiring to install 7-Zip, WinRAR or PeaZip.

Thanks for your great development.
