Version 8 of Basekits: How to extract them from ActiveState Installers

Updated 2013-11-21 21:23:46 by RLE

Just discovered the following in need for an 8.15.x basekit, without wanting to install this release:

  • Download the desired Installer from http://downloads.activestate.com/ActiveTcl/releases/
  • sdx mksplit installername gives 2 Files, one named ...head and one named ...tail
    • (the head itself seems to be a spezialized tclkit, but it's complaining about the missing tail...;-)
  • sdx unwrap tail

The wanted basekits are now below the created VFS-structure under payload/bin.
