| 7.1 - The Starkit Distribution Archive A first tentative step in this direction has been taken - an archive is being created to help simplify the task of distribution of Starkits and Starpacks. This has been called The Starkit Distribution Archive (or SDarchive) for now. The motivation is not just to collect binaries (and so end up with yet another repository of stale and unmaintained data) but to work towards a structure which can both technically and socially maintain itself for a long time to come. The initial aims of SDarchive are modest - provide a useful collection of Starkits. But also to build on this and leverage the Starkit model to make the deployment of complete applications, small utilities and individual packages simpler than ever before. But SDarchive has become popular with Starkit developers, and now contains over a hundred Starkits across a variety of categories - including applications, developer tools, demonstrations and games. | see also | ||||
