[Qgis-developer] Multi threading and background processing

[Tom Moore]

Hi Martin

How does one go about distributing an architecture dependent plugin?  I am
expecting to be developing mine for the windows 64-bit environment.  I wont
have the facilities to prepare packages for other environments, but of
course others can take the source code and do what they want.

Can I set up a package that windows 64 users can download and click to
install?  Will I need to set up my own repository for this purpose?

Thx,

Tom
