Hi to all,
We're working hard and getting close to the 2.0 release of Johnny. However we need at least *some* input on the following topic:

Regarding the bundling of JtR with Johnny, for Windows and OS X, is this of enough value to justify the effort and the potential support confusion/hassle following? My main concerns are:
1. It doesn't make sense from Johnny's perspective to bundle anything but the latest bleeding jumbo;
2. The *official* JtR jumbo builds are old, so what we need to do is either build ourselves or use builds done by Rich or similar;
3. At least for OS X, there are alternative paths for easily installing JtR like Homebrew (admittedly jumbo version formula is stuck at jumbo-1, though some effort on our part to get it to the latest tag wouldn't hurt overall)
4. We could point people in the documentation and in Johnny to the available places for downloading their choosing of JtR flavoring;
Unless this discussion yields a different conclusion, bundling JtR with Johnny is not considered for this first release.
Cheers,
Shinnok
