Up to Main Index Up to Journal for January, 2013 JOURNAL FOR TUESDAY 29TH JANUARY, 2013 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Now where should I put my resources? DATE: Tue Jan 29 19:57:02 GMT 2013 First of all apologies to everyone who has been badgering me - in a good, positive way - to get the crowd and recordjar code pushed out. Lately work and life have had a very annoying way of demanding a lot of my time. I also have an issue - which has cropped up on the golang-nuts mailing list[1] before now. I have resources - external data files - how do I distribute them? Before I was just distributing a single binary - now I have text files as well. Bundling them 'in' the binary is not an option - you wouldn't be able to edit them. I think I'll have to start packaging the binary as a compressed tarball or something. Maybe a simple self extractor - as I did for the Java version. For people working with the sources or using 'go get' it's less of a problem because the repository will have the data files anyway. It's just the standalone binary download that is being troublesome. With a bit of luck I'll have worked out a solution to my issue and new code pushed out shortly...[2] -- Diddymus [1] Go users mailing list: https://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts [2] WARNING!
