I'm working on an installer for an application that I have ported to OSX, but I don't have much experience with this OS so I want to know where is the most appropriate location to install a database file that will be used by my app. The database file is relatively small, and will be updated by a daemon process but must be accessible to...

The Problem I have a big infrastructure consisting of several kinds of servers running Linux. For instance, database servers, load balancers, application-specific servers. There are many instances of every kind of server, and all of them need to be reproducible. Every kind of server is basically a custom distribution. Customisations in...

Is it possible to package a number of .NET assemblies in a single dll? If so, How? IF possible, do you think it is a good idea? Why? Any ...

Hello! I ask the question more specific: Using Netbeans, is there a possibility to create an additional custom build target, which would: either package all project sources along with the binaries into a singe JAR, or package all project sources without the binaries into an additional JAR?

In Django I'm looking for a way to serve several different files at once. I can't use static archives (.zip, .tar, etc.) because I don't have enough storage to cache these files and it will take far too long to generate them on the fly (each could be in the 100s of megabytes). Is there a way I can indicate to the browser that several fi...

I have an open source project containing both Python and C code. I'm wondering that is there any use for distutils for me, because I'm planning to do a ubuntu/debian package.

Since all modules share same session, security context etc, it makes sense to merge them into a single war. Is it possible to automate this process? For example, it should merge web.xml, calculate e...
