Related to that: Would it be possible to mirror the IDE stack files
somewhere, where a program can download them (maybe ask runrev for a
bit of space on their server?)? Additionally, is it possible not to
use zip files (because that needs the zip.dll)? I recommend plain
stack files, maybe gz, because these can be used within rev/mc.
I had exactly the same thoughts, and just wrote to Richard about it
(he hasn't answered yet.) I also want to avoid the external if
possible, so would like to see the stacks individually gzipped.
Richard will be setting up a permanent URL for the IDE downloads,
which my stack also implements. I guess you and I are on the same
wavelength.
What about getting a custom domain for this project? It can be hosted by
the current pubaa or anyone else who volunteers, and moved around as
needed. It can be set it up, for example, as an add-on domain on some
existing service, thus incurring no service fees beyond dns registration.
FWIW, I'll be hosting the MC and related files at a mirror at
revJournal.com soon. I have tons of space there and a great many FTP
accounts available, so it would be easy to share administrative tasks
with anyone who's interested.
