Hi All, Thanks for the input. Concering 'egg' it's not a web update for python per-ce but it should be written in python to easily interface with (wx)Python. As I believe it 'egg' is only a dependency downloader and installer for python scripts right?
As for subversion, this is not possible as I want to provide people wihtout the ability to have a subversion server but only a plain web site, to download a file that can upgrade a local work copy. Requiring either SVN locally or server side is not really user friendly .. Thanks for your input! - Jorgen On Nov 20, 2007 10:48 AM, Diez B.
