What are Autopackage's plans for luau? The last post to the mailing
list I could find (hard to check as it's full of spam) was this 2006
post checking whether the project was still active:

  http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=1167444382.7676.282444165%40webmail.messagingengine.com&forum_name=luau-devel

Has there been any further development?

BTW (sorry to hijack the thread ;-), I've been working on getting
support for Autopackage-style self-installing packages added to Zero
Install:

  http://0install.net/0export.html

Not as pretty as Autopackage yet, but it does support multi-platform
binaries (though in a different way). e.g. the ROX-All package
contains 32 and 64 bit versions of the ROX applications:

  http://roscidus.com/desktop/ROX-All

Programs installed this way still check for updates to themselves.
Menu integration currently requires the distribution zeroinstall
package to be installed, but perhaps the archive can install that
itself too in the future.

You can even make an Autopackage-style self-installing package from a
Zero Install feed of an Autopackage! e.g.

Create the package:

$ 0export stellarium-setup.sh
http://0install.net/2006/autopackage/Stellarium.xml

Install and run:

$ ./stellarium-setup.sh
