Both, actually. It is best done on the server (or even in the developer SDK), and the package management of the device doesn't even know that the package used to be a wgt. It can, however, also be done on the device, when installing a random wgt from the a web site. This is the equivalent of installing a random rpm from a web site, which isn't such a good idea, but the web widget people keep telling me that it is important for web widgets. *shrug* _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
