Since it seems to be<br>the biggest problem, maybe it should be postponed.<br><br>Yes, the repository maintenance can be solved latter too. Let's first have<br>a repository and then think about the best way to keep it on date. :-)<br><br>I don't have skills with TCL but I agree that it is a good choice. Is<br>there how to open zip/tar/something files in TCL? If it can open the<br>package, it's perfect.<br><br>IMO, the first step is to install locally. Define a package structure, a<br>package header and the install script. Probably it can be used by the<br>remote install.<br><br>I suggest the following package structure:<br>/content.txt<br>/bin/files <-to compiled files (architecture dependent)<br>/help/files <-to help files (architecture independent)<br>/tcl/files <-to gui files (architecture independent)<br><br>This structure should be compacted / grouped in a file with some name<br>convention like package_name.version.pd_pkg.<br><br>The content.txt can be as follow:<br>name:<br>author:<br>version:<br>key-words:<br>web-site:<br>license:<br>flavor:<br>dependencies:<br>instructions:<br><br>The install script should select a package, open it, copy the external to<br>the external dir, copy the help and tcl files to the correct folder,<br>rename the content.txt to the package name + version and copy it to an<br>folder designed for this kind of file.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>f schiavoni<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Pd-list@iem.at mailing list<br>UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list<br></body>
