We understand your opinion, but we also see some possible problems with
this approach for our project Cartaro. Currently the installation script
is tailored to run within the building process. If the installation
script is executed during runtime by the user, we are not able to
ensure, that the installation was really successful. Changes made by the
user during runtime could lead to a failing installation. Furthermore a
working internet connection is required.
Failing installations during runtime could may lead to the impression,
that our project is not stable although only a working internet
connection was missing ...

Due to this points, we would be very happy, if our installation script
would be executed within the building process.

What do you think?
