Hi Benjamin, Great questions. Here at Pandora as you probably remember we're completely SOLO, so we don't even need the servlet engine piece. I'd enjoy a command-line compiler only distribution, although I realize I may not be normal. ;) We do keep a full copy of the source internally. We do not, however, build from source. So I guess the svn fetch instructions is an OK option for source, although it does add to the work I would have to do to upgrade to a new Laszlo version.
Perhaps you could combine the servlet-engine and source releases into one happy marriage? That would certainly work well for me -- only one file to upload to our Oakland offices from way out here in the midwest. Hope these are helpful thoughts, -Neil On May 29, 2006, at 2:09 PM, Benjamin Shine wrote: > > What changes and improvements would you like from the OpenLaszlo > download/install/build processes? > > I'm thinking about simplifying the OpenLaszlo build, download, and > install process.
