All,

These are the bugs that I have encountered with using the 'package'
feature. Funnily, to me (and I bet some others) the ability to easily
package a bunch of GUI code for different OS'es is the principle
feature that draws me to shoes (the rest is just a bonus:). So I feel
these bugs are important.

All bugs are from packages built in OSX wth raisins (and then run on windows).

1) Large files causes *.dmg creation to die. This occurred for me with
a file that was 21MB. Console message is thus:

22/02/09 3:14:42 PM [0x0-0x239239].org.hackety.shoes[10995] error: allocate
22/02/09 3:14:42 PM [0x0-0x239239].org.hackety.shoes[10995] error: Not
a directory
22/02/09 3:14:42 PM com.apple.launchd[117]
([0x0-0x239239].org.hackety.shoes[10995]) Exited with exit code: 1

2) When installing a new Shoes package (on top of an older version) in
windows, the older package always gets executed. Work around is to
delete the contents of ...\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local
Settings\Temp\. Its a bit awkward to ask users to do this themselves.

3) SSLEADLL32 issue. "This application has failed to start because
SSLEAY32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the
problem" (but it doesn't). I dont know what causes this.
