Yeah, I did implement something like it, though it's just a quick prototype. But it works to some extend. The tarballs are now created on the serverside, which is probably way to much load for the servers, so a system that actually fetches tarballs of the extension from the site, and assemble everything at the client would be much better. But for that to work, we either need a smart shell script, a C program, or a PHP script. But the latter would require a PHP Binary already present on the system. > > > 2.
