Can someone give me a "primer" on writing installation scripts? I have trying to proactively prepare for disaster recovery, and am now able to do something like: packageCache:='C:\Documents and Settings\robr\My Documents\proj\squeak\development packages'. Installer installFile: packageCache,'ODBC-rjriv.1.cs'.
Which, of course, assumes that my packages are in a directory I can get to from my machine.
However, I know other options are available to me, such as grabbing packages directly from the network and automating answers to any Requests.
Any tips?
Thanks,
Rob
note that if you use Monticello you always have all your packages stored in your defautl folder as a cache so you cannot lose anything if you publish on squeaksource, and do a backup of your disc since your cache will cotnain all your packages.
