Hi all,
Aleksey finally prodded me (by creating an empty page and
pointing me
at it) into writing down my idea for Unified bundles which
merges .xol
and .xo files together.
It diverged somewhat into a plan to recast activities which do not support actually creating anything as "Content viewers". Those are ones like Read, Read Etexts, View Slides, Jukebox, etc.
Actually, I have a question. Paste from the link above:
Etoys-based Unified content bundles are made up of a Squeak script or Etoys project. The activity.info file contains the line: exec sugar-etoys-activity [options] <squeak_file> ===== In the freecell-1.xo: exec = FreeCell.sh ====== I assume sugar-etoys-activity <==> FreeCell.sh Is the website obsolete? (note the = missing in the website line)
The website is just a proposal, it's not agreed upon, much less implemented.
I see, thanks.
In fact the "Unified Bundles" are not really needed for Etoys anyway, because our bundles already are very lean and only have a tiny shell script (like in the FreeCell case). The proposal IMHO applies only to activities that have a significant amount of code in their bundle, which should not be duplicated in each "content bundle".
ok,
Thanks, Milan
