Welcome to Rohan Pall's hints on how to use those sexy starkits!
A ton of this info was lifted from others, so relax and enjoy their hard work ;) I've made all the hints into seperate pages so others can add to them, and to facilitate links.
No Magic or Policy in Starkits
writable writeable vfs
I packaged my mindweb app in a starkit. All its data was also stored in the starkit. I had read somewhere that by default starkits were writable (r/w) but this in fact has changed over summer 2002. [L1 ] Now starkits are by default read-only (r/o) [L2 ], but the documentation is lagging behind that fact.
You make your starkit writable by doing it at wrap time:
sdx wrap app.kit -writable
2002-09-17 (September 17, 2002) sdx doesnt give any hints that this option exists when displaying help with
sdx help wrap
but it does indeed exist! ;>
starkit meet zip file
This is just another wow feature. There are gems just waiting to be picked up in starkits, and here is one that I found while unpacking and reading the tclkit, in "./lib/vfs/zipvfs.tcl"
