That's exactly the approach of haXe. For example haXe comes with "haxelib" since 1.06 release. haxelib is a package manager similar to apt-get or rubygems. When you need to install a library (for instance Screenweaver HX), all you need is to run the command : haxelib install swhx This will automatically download and install the software. Creating an haxelib package is very simple (see http://haxe.org/haxelib). Once people are starting to use haxelib more widely (right now 5 libs only) I'm planning to add a web frontend similar to Freshmeat.net that will list the projects online and give news about latest updates. While this kind of tool does not replace documentation & tutorials, it greatly helps developers to release their libraries to the masses of haXe developers :) Nicolas _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
