That's great. Now I wonder if perhaps it worked all along, and what I (mis)remember from past experimentation was not bare object files but system-shared and user-private config.toml and/or languages.toml file. In any case, good that it will work to ship system-shared grammar objects. Now is just left the challenge of orchestrating having them built without network access, including having all needed dependencies packaged. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
