LV I'm looking into what steps I need to take if I want to add an extension into kitten.
- Discussions can take place on the starkit mailing list.
- Content questions
- What kinds of extensions/scripts, etc. should go into kitten?
- Or perhaps the better question, should everything go here, or should there be a series of developer starkits which have particular themes?
- Build Issues
- Is a particular compiler required or preferred - are there incompatibilities between compilers on Solaris/Windows/Linux?
- Does one need to specify a --prefix or --exec-prefix ?
- What platforms should be included?
- Installation Issues
- How are new items added into the kitten.vfs web repository?
- How should updated packages be handled? How to coordinate updating?
- Documentation Issues
- How can reference material for the extensions be added to the kitten.tkd so that developers have access?
- Other issues
- Might the US government regard the extension as illegal, treasonous, libelous, ...? This is not as absurd as might first appear (see [L1 ], for example). I don't understand - kitten contains nothing that falls under munitions act. Also, kitten is not a US software product. Answer: having an encryption module in kitten potentially brings it into a category that's a problem for US residents. No, kitten doesn't have one now. It's not clear that it ever would be feasible, just because of the arcane US restrictions.
