Installer for Kernel Image
---- Installer now has a couple of new features intended to make working with a KernelImage easier. Publish Your Project Installer Script to a Web Page ---- These features now mean that it is simple to publish a specific product or custom image consisting of multiple packages, mantis bug fixes and miscellaneous configuration scripts for use in any recentish (or perhaps oldish) squeak image. Support Historical Images Too ---- Thus far Installer has been tested in 3.7, 3.8 ,3.9 and now the most recent addition: 3.9 KernelImage. There is no reason why it should not work in earlier squeaks for those that are interested (let me know of your experiences please). Notably Installer provides an interface for searching and loading from SqueakMap for image versions that do not support SqueakMap2. i.e. 3.7 and earlier. The script for your product can reside embedded in any html page (naughtily) using <code st>... </code st> tags (This method is supported by wiki.squeak.org, and pbwiki.com too) Using Installer with KernelImage ---- Installer only has one prerequisite, 'Network', and so can be used earlier in the KernelImage loading processm than Monticello. Beginning with KernelImage 7061c from http://www.comtalk.net/Squeak/98 Step. 1 is download, unzip and manually install the Network package (FileStream readOnlyFileNamed: 'Network/snapshot/source.st') fileIn. Step.2. bootstrap Installer from a web url. (HTTPSocket httpGet: 'installer.pbwiki.com/f/Installer.st') fileIn. Step 3. now the fun starts... since installer can be pointed at a web page to run a script embedded in html. (At this stage only .st and .cs support is installed) Installer installUrl: 'http://installer.pbwiki.org/LoadMonticello'. ---- enjoy best regards Keith Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com |
Hey, a backward-compatible root+boot installer, that's great Keith.
Pavel, Damien, can this one become the root/boot installer of your respective .image? Will (slowly) re-build my images here, thank you Keith. /Klaus On Sun, 12 Nov 2006 03:22:58 +0100, Keith Hodges wrote: > Installer for Kernel Image > ---- > Installer now has a couple of new features intended to make working with > a KernelImage easier. > > Publish Your Project Installer Script to a Web Page > ---- > These features now mean that it is simple to publish a specific product > or custom image consisting of multiple packages, mantis bug fixes and > miscellaneous configuration scripts for use in any recentish (or perhaps > oldish) squeak image. > > Support Historical Images Too > ---- > Thus far Installer has been tested in 3.7, 3.8 ,3.9 and now the most > recent addition: 3.9 KernelImage.
