I've created a little Windows app that uses the ImageMagick C API but have run into a bit of a brick wall. The app works fine and I'm ready to share it with a few others in our organisation but I can't find documentation on distributing such an app without installing ImageMagick on the target machine. Does anyone here have information, ...
I have a directory of python programs, classes and packages that I currently distribute to 5 servers. It seems I'm continually going to be adding more servers and right now I'm just doing a basic rsync over from my local box to the servers. What would a better approach be for distributing code across n servers? thanks ...
I am looking for a good development tool that will help me track revisions of software I am creating, and that is web based. Just looking for suggestions on what others use. And not one that is hosted through another solution but that I can host myself. ...
The question is in the title. ...
Is there a recommended way to "bootstrap" an Erlang distribution? I would like to run erlang on the bunch of machines where I do not have root elevation nor development tool-set (no compilers etc ...) . My thinking was to pre-package (on the machine with the same architecture) as much as I can before. What are the minimal requirements fo...
According to the apple website iOS 4 should support wireless app distribution. I have been unable to find any documentation at all on how to host your applications for users to download them over wifi/3g. We are currently enrolled in the standard iphone dev program, as we don't have over 500 employees. Is this limited feature limited t...
I would like to send someone the Xcode simulator version - not the device version - of my iPad app. I have located the .app file in the Finder. Do I just zip it up and send it off or is it more complicated than that? Thanks, Doug UPDATE Chrisbtoo got the answer on this one however he left of some critical bits for those of you trying ...
I imagined that publishing a game to xbox live would make it available all around the world. It seems that this is not the case because there are far more titles available on xbox live in the USA (around 2000) than in xbox live Australia (around 700). Before I commit to using XNA Game Studio, I would like to know the details of publishi...
I have developed a .Net application which I am publishing under the MIT license, however, I will not be releasing the source. My question is, taking that into account, what options do I have for distribution. If you have published a similar application, I would like to know what sites you found to work well for distribution. Thanks in ...
Assuming you have developed a webapp that is to be used locally by the client, what are the steps required to distribute it? Use an embedded web server Glassfish v3 comes with an embedded version on the original distribution which you can use.

Can I distribute a .NET app that uses a key that the user can't access, but the app can? Note that I am using the word distribute in the sense that the application is delivered to run in the user's computer, not in a cloud or cluster. ...
I started using Dist::Zilla several months ago. However, at YAPC::NA someone mentioned that they use ShipIt instead. Then today I noticed a .shipit file in miyagawa's cpanminus directory on github, so I decided to look into it some more... My initial impression is that ShipIt has a subset of what is available with Dist::Zilla, but I don...
It is possible to include open source software in commercial applications and when the license is GPL the distributor is required to "open source" also its proprietary source code. However these two points are not completely clear to me: Is the distributor required to "open source" also other assets that are not in source form? For ex...
I'm using Automake to maintain the package, there are some shell scripts which don't need to compile, so I install them using _SCRIPT primary: Makefile.am: bin_SCRIPTS = script1.sh But the tarball generated with make dist doesn't contain this script1.sh file. Is there something I missed in the Makefile.am? ...
I'd like to ask this question in two standpoints. As a library developer, I don't want my work to be used in source closed web apps while most web apps are source closed. (And they are also worthless to distribute, generally a web app is individual-dependent). The trendency of moving towards to cloud-computing, seems there will be less ...

I would like it to run locally. I am able to run the program locally on my computer by simply double clicking the .class file, I also can create a shortc...
This is mostly just because I'm curious, but how would one distribute a closed source python program since python is run from source and its bytecode is easily decompiled? I'm mostly asking for linux since I don't care about windows, but any answers are great. Edit: Thanks for the answers guys. I was just curious since I just got my fi...

I have a VERY simple C# Winforms project that I made using Visual Studio 2010. It uses SQL Express 2008. This is my first time using SQL, so I wanted a hands-on approach to learning SQL, and this project allowed me to do that. I want to post my project on my website for people to see. However, I have stored procedures, constraints, and ...
