It's not officially supported. Other than being a way for activities to leak data past Bitfrost protections, in a future release (hopefully the next one) the .xo will be directly mounted read-only, not actually unpacked.

I hope to make it easier to use the standard file-based mechanisms to access the journal; again in a future release. Ideally it will be as simple as writing your files to ~/Journal, and perhaps providing a simple metadata-extraction tool for indexing, where appropriate. > Feel free to re-package the current Scratch activity installer to include > your patch, if you think that makes sense. Done; Scratch-6.xo is now at http://dev.laptop.org/~cscott/bundles/Scratch-6.xo and linked from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities. I've also fixed the version number in the activity.info file -- Scratch-5 claimed that it was version 2, which confused the activity updater. There have been a number of people interested in helping sugarize Scratch; when you're done with Scratch 1.3 post again to devel@lists.laptop.org and we'll round up some helpers. --scott [erik: I've fixed some bugs in the earlier Scratch-6.xo I sent you: the early version of the wrapper script would only work the first time you ran it; second and later invocations would fail. It's worth checking your Peru bundle, and probably resyncing.] -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
