We all do this stuff as a hobby. There must be room for some humor in what we do.

Which reminds me, did you ever check out the lab126 public repository linked to in the "Tools Index" ? (very bottom of page)

At least they put up a warning sign before you stepped off the edge.

I was thinking... Some apps (such as wafs) need install scripts to run before you can use it. What if people added postinstall.sh to their legs. Then they could install them in one go. You could update your script to do something like this.

Quote:

#!/bin/sh
mv -f /mnt/us/*.leg /mnt/us/extensions
mv -f /mnt/us/*.sh /mnt/us/extensions
cd /mnt/us/extensions
unzip *.leg
if [ -f /mnt/us/extensions/*.sh ]
then
rm -f *.leg && sh ./*.sh && rm -f ./*.sh && killall cvm
else
rm -f *.leg
fi
killall cvm

Just an idea and you don't have to use it but it would help the average user by getting rid of a step and just letting the user use the program.

I am alredy working on the postinst
It will be like this:
Leg file contains the extensions folder and an installer script that is OUTSIDE the extension.
The user puts in the leg file, and opens a new java launcher extension menu that will show all leg files.
User selects a leg and it extracts the leg file. Then it runs the postinst file and killalls cvm.
The postinst file needs to be named whatever the leg is named, including the extension, with and addition of .postinst at the end of the name.
It is based of bhaak's hackedupreader extension.
