It's a silent 'G'. 

More to the topic of the packager. There is also the same
hacketyhack.net problem issue in the linux static/stub/sh-install. It's
a minor edit but testing is a bit confusing because I can't test it
until there is a Linux Shoes at
http://shoes.heroku.com/pkg/policeman/linux/shoes and
http://shoes.heroku.com/pkg/policeman/linux/shoes-novideo 

It's doesn't have to be current/shoes linux but I can't test the
'install, download Shoes if needed' and my minor edit without something
being there. If the webmaster could copy the Raisins version to
'policeman' that would good enough.

Hi Cecil,

I'm not webmaster, I can't update shoes-web/public/pkg/policeman/linux/shoes
contents.

So, I downloaded `shoes2.run` from: http://github.com/shoes/shoes/downloads
and renamed to `latest_shoes.run` and uploaded into (replaced with)
http://www.rin-shun.com/shoes/pkg/policeman/linux/latest_shoes.run

Now, can you test?

It didn't work for me. 

Packaging has two modes. 
(1) Include the shoes binaries. pack.rb downloads from
shoes.heroku.com/pkg/policeman/... and an executable is created that has
enough Shoes to run the script at another machine. This mostly works and
the result is 3 to 12MB in size.

(2) Download Shoes if needed when executing the script (80Kb). In this
case, the other (random client) machine has to download shoes from the
location given in blank.exe, sh-install, or the OSX equivalent dmg. It's
not working for Windows, won't work for OSX until change their stubs
that point to to hacketyhack.net are modified and there is a executable
at shoes.heroku.com/pkg/policman. Which appears to actually be a
redirect that blank.exe, the stub dmg, and the stub linux may not beable
to handle even if they are pointed in the right place.
