Totally agree: it is trivial once those other servers are installed and configured. But what if I want to distribute an app that runs locally or takes part in a decentralized system? Ideally, I could just hand out binaries and say "run this". If a non-expert has to apt-get install anything or, heaven forbid, edit something under /etc, it is a deal breaker. I do not think this is a pressing issue; returnBlob + rewrite can do everything I want. > Ur/Web already supports SQLite. The first few sections of the manual > explain how to use it. Yes, extremely handy how compiling dumps the appropriate setup script. Thanks for that :) I do not think this is a pressing issue either; I can distribute sqlite with an app and, as you point out, just have some wrapper script orchestrate the whole system. >> Is there a way to get the fully qualified name of a style as a string? >> > There might be some hacky way to do it now, but I haven't intended to expose > such a feature. Style names are very predictable from module structure. Yes, they are predictable. However, if I embed my css as a string and then change the style name, I should also change the css string. Unfortunately, nothing will remind me to do this. A better approach would be to programmatically build the css string using the names the styles will ultimately have in the generated app. _______________________________________________ Ur mailing list [email protected] http://www.impredicative.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ur
