Great to hear you're making progress. Exciting! I'm not sure of the gears repo layout, but you can do a checkout of only a subdir - if the linux/gecko stuff is in a subdir, you could just get that subdir. Otherwise, my guess is that you'll have a "core" gears dir and various "osx/" , "windows" subdirs with platform-specific glue, don't worry about that :-) Or at least, ask in Fedora-devel whether it's worth your time to worry about that :-) > On another note... there is an interesting project called gears on rails, > which is a mix of gears with ruby on rails allowing for a very fast and > organised approach to building offline apps.... this could be the way to > go... That's just shiny stuff, don't let it distract you :-) We don't have Ruby on the server or on the client. And we won't until there is a killer-app for it. We have an incredibly limited RAM and disk-space budget and everytime we add a language, plus all its libraries and stuff... we'll look at Ruby the day there's a compelling app for us on the XS. Could be romorrow, could be never. For the XO it's pretty nigh impossible. cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
