I now have it running, but it has several other things which are pretty strange about it, like insisting it know about every function ahead of time (i.e. strict checking).
That shouldn't be the case - can you show an example of this?
There is no "man rhino", of course, so you can't easily find any command options on how to disable it with a switch. It would be a long search through bizarrely- structured documentation. So as usual, I will put the incantation in a shell script that I feel should have been provided by the application itself. And if I find an alternative, I will probably avoid using this application because it is in Java, and it is obtuse. Upgrading will be something done completely from memory of course, or maintained in my own logs, as there is no INSTALL or UPGRADE file.
Since you worked it out, how about you open a Bugzilla issue and submit a patch containing the setup so we can incorporate it in later versions? That would likely not be significantly more effort than the amortized cost of either manually maintaining your upgrade process, or switching to a different software after you made investment into this one (another library might turn out to differ in some subtle implementation-dependent behaviour that'll break your script...) and you'd make it easier for others to adopt it for the same usage pattern you did, thus increasing the likelihood that a software you chose to use will remain relevant for that use in the future. You obviously have more expertise in creating such an installer for Unices than we do.
Quite a win-win, if you ask me. Attila. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-js-engine-rhino mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-js-engine-rhino
