Re: [Webware-discuss] Thoughts on a WAR like deployment system

[Ian B. <ia...@co...>]

I've been trying to make a working directory into a distributable 
application.  Which it really is -- the only real problem at this point 
is figuring out where Webware is installed, otherwise it could be pretty 
drop-in.

Well, the other real problem is dealing with links -- relative links 
work fine, but it's hard to create absolute links if you take into 
account mod_rewrite and other stuff -- sorting out the semantics of the 
various parts of the URL is a mess.

As far as descriptions, that's a pending issue for Python in general.  
I'd imagine we'd want to use the same descriptions and repositories that 
everyone else uses.  It might even be cool if the working directory 
could be set up with distutils, but I'm not even sure what that would 
mean (as an application and not a library).
