Star One-Click Installation with Klik
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 7th Nov 2005 15:27 UTC
Linux "Simplifying software installation is a popular pastime for Linux developers. It has given us useful tools like Synaptic, YUM, checkinstall, and autopackage. A new kid on the block, Klik, approaches the problem differently, by avoiding the installation altogether."

Member since:

First, the Unicies DO have something like App bundles. In fact, they have 2 independant implimentations: Rox AppDirs (based on RiscOS implimentation) and GNUStep AppBundles (pretty much the same as OSX Bundles because they are both taken from NextStep).

Second, Klik files are very much like AppBundles. The klik protocol, servers, recipies and whatnot are part of the klik distribution method. AFAIK .cmgs can be run without any of that.
