Hello,
A comment came up in a recent blog post about wanting to make Chandler a portable app.

I noticed that work was done in 0.7.2 to accomplish this task.

From the 0.7.2 release notes:
Chandler-on-a-stick, a.k.a. “Portable Chandler”: Though not built automatically and available for download, it is now possible to build a relocatable distribution of Chandler that can be stored on, and run from a removable device
such as a USB memory stick or an iPod.

Can anyone give more information on the state of "Portable Chandler" and what would need to be done to make
this an automated build task and included on the Downloads page.

Portable Chandler is built from the chandler Makefile with:
    make relocatable-distrib
There is a README file in distrib/relocatable that explains how it is put together.
It's status is "needs testing".
It is only supported on Intel chips, 32 bit, no ppc.
It is rather slow when put on a stick (a USB key) but should perform well off a FireWire/USB hdd.

Andi..



Thanks,
Brian
