I'm finishing an installer in Rev which is a basic stack in fact.
After asking some parameters, it will check on the web for versions,
and should dowload few files.
Those files were compressed before.
Rev can download them,
decompress them and save them on the user's disk.
So far so good.
But, I have a external.bundle to download too,
and I'm stuck on how to compress,
zip or package it
so the stack installer can download it and save it.
I've even tried the gzip/gunzip command line tool
which doesn't work either :-(
Any clever clue ?
It will be good to be done in Rev only.
I've become increasingly annoyed with the build process using any other
installer maker, so I make my own in Rev too. Freedom + convenience!
As Mark S. noted, an OSX bundle is just a folder, so you can store its
parts however you would store any other folder. My installer walks
through the bundle keep track of folders, and tucking the data files and
folder references into custom props gzipped at build time, spitting them
out into created directories at install time.
When you spit out the Mac executable, remember that you'll need to set
its executable bit -- Mark Waddingham was kind enough to share this with me:
get shell("chmod ugo+x" && quote & tDest & quote)
...where tDest is the path to the executable inside *.app/Contents/MacOS/
