I'm currently building my first Mac application and I'm a little confused by the delivery process. I've quickly read through the Software Delivery Guide but it seems to imply that if I have several components in my app, I should use a managed install. My application is very simple but it does rely on VVOpenSource frameworks, so when I bu...
With Python 2.4 on Centos, when I create an RPM with setuptools (bdist_rpm), add it to my yum repository and install it with yum, the top-level Python packages are extracted and put directly in site-packages, along with a .egg-info directory for the full package. So, e.g., if spam-1.2.3 has a top-level package called "spam", then packag...
Is it possible to create a System.IO.Packaging.Package on a memory stream. I'd like to avoid the file system and do everything in memory if possible. However, the only way to create a Package is to call Package.Open which accepts a stream. However, if the stream is empty, this fails. Any clue? ...
I'm building a Debian package which gathers together a number of other closely tied packages by declaring them as dependencies. I want those dependencies to be exactly the same version as the package. Is there a way within the Debian build system to avoid hard coding this within the control file (aside from pre-processing the control f...

We are considering splitting our hibernate tables into packages or domains (invoicing, sales, ..etc), primarily for dependency management issues. It doesn't break neatly of course, so we aren't sure how to handle relationships that cross domains. It would be nice to have a new entity annotation for this, but meanwhile one idea is to ma...
A Linux application we have developed relies upon the presence of licensed, third-party applications to which we defer some internal processing. Our customer has requested that we package our software as RPMs for deployment in their environment --- the question is how best to handle the third-party dependencies which do not provide RPMs....
Hi, I'm developing certain scripts and small software packages which I also package as debian packages. The code is maintained in git and I create new release tarballs with an make target and git-archive. This tarball is then fed to "uupdate -u .tar.gz" to update from the previous packaged version. This far everything works great and ...

I am just starting to package my web application project as a WAR file and am running into differences between the configuration for Tomcat vs Jetty vs JBoss vs Websphere, etc. Should I try to configure some super-smart an all-in-one WAR file, or should I create different Maven profiles to create different WARs for each app server? ...
According to the EPM documentation it's possible in BSD packages to run a script post-installation. I'd like to invoke a script installed as part of the package, if possible, but to do so I need to know a few things about the runtime: What user will run the script? What environment variables are set when it runs? What is the CWD when t...
I'm trying to compile a simple Python program, that uploads files to an S3 bucket using the boto package, in to a single, redistributable .exe file. I'm open to any compilation method. So far I've tried both bbfreeze and py2exe and both yield the same results. The code in question that causes trouble looks like this: import boto #...sni...
Is there a way to distribute a PHP program like a desktop app, so that even if the user of the app doesn't have a local server environment setup on there PCs, the app will still work? I was thinking, if there was some type of portable server environment program which includes PHP/Apache, then we could create a batch file which when clic...
