Re: Archive type for PYZ packages without extraction

You can tell 0install to download a file without extracting it by replacing
<archive ... /> with <file ... />.

For example:
<file
href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/streamtuner2/streamtuner2-2.1
.8.pyz" size="226181" dest="streamtuner.pyz" />

Note the dest attribute specifying the local file name. This would also be
what you set as main executable, e.g.:
<implementation main="streamtuner.pyz" ... />

Subject: [Zero-install-devel] Archive type for PYZ packages without
extraction


Is there an archive type= that prevents 0install from unpacking Python PYZ
packages?

http://fossil.include-once.org/streamtuner2/doc/trunk/dev/0-st2.xml

Use case: While my sample package also works in extracted form, it kinda
defeats the purpose. It's already relocatable and meant to be run like a
binary itself. And I don't want to publish or regenerate a matroska zip for
each release either..

>From the (Windows) Publishing Tools I assumed something like this
was meant to be available for JARs, self-contained executables or installers
already.
