Re: can't run feedlint on windows

Bastian,
	With the new version feelint 0.9 runs as expected when the old versions are not restricted. 
Thanks for the fix.
Phil

I've published a Zero Install for Windows update (2.16.0) that changes the solver behavior to prefer newer versions over 64-bitness (like the OCaml and Python implementations).

@Thomas: Thanks for modifying the Zero Install feed. As you said, that should at least prevent incorrect selections for people running older versions of Zero Install for Windows.

I'll look into adding a 64-bit Windows version of python-gobject to the feed some time this week.

work fine on Windows without gobject. Therefore, I think it would be better to add the os="POSIX" restriction for the python-object dependency in the Zero Install feed back in.

That's really just luck, though. I suspect if you hit the right code path it may need gobject. I've instead added gobject dependencies to the older versions of 0install so at least it should get it when it needs it now.

One possible quick workaround for the slow solver issue might be to add a 64-bit Windows version of python-gobject...
