Charles I would love to load even only binary formats and I know well parcels. Now no engineers, no money for doing what I really want, so only little moment grab there and there. Stef
first of all pardon my ignorance, trying to be a better community member but I'm still behind.
Has the pharo team contemplated setting up the notion of an official "pharo runtime engine" (PRE) , to be specific users would download the runtime engine and subsequently only the "parcels" i.e. whatever the Pharo counterpart is (.st file ins ?) is distributed to users.
Although Cincom does not officially support this, its actually quite simple to setup and its the way I am accustomed to delivering apps. Many in the VW community do as well. I long ago abandoned the strip down model but rather "build up". However, the runtime image is indeed an image stripped down of development tools and etc. BTW, I also provide for a modicum of security by encrypting the parcels.
Yes this is cool This is why we are working on a minimal kernel.
thanks in advance,
