Quoting from the Everything distro:
What is a nodeball? A nodeball is a "package" of
nodes
for your Everything system. Nodeballs are somewhat similar to
RPMs
or
DEB
packages. They allow you to install specific functionality to your
Everything
system.
You can use the
nbmasta
utility to import nodes from and export them to nodeballs. It would be cool if we could somehow export the particularly interesting nodes from this server into nodeballs and then put them up on our own Everything servers, wouldn't it?
More news: first of all, there are additional nodeballs you need to get from everydev.com to get the really cool features. They are
Chatterbox
,
Experience
, and
weblog
. Do read about some of the
gotchas
here
.
As I
dissected
these little
morsels
of
joy
, I discovered that they are simply
hierarchies
of
directories
containing
XML
(under ./nodes) and
sqldump
files (under ./tables). At the
top level
of each nodeball directory is an XML file named ME. I'm not sure what it does, because
commenting out
items from it doesn't prevent nbmasta from attempting to
install
them.
Nodeballs are
distributed
as single files with the
.nbz
extension
, but I recommend expanding each one to a subdirectory of ebase/nodeballs (assuming your Everything source directory is named
ebase
which is the default). You can do this using
tar
with the
xzf
arguments. Nbmasta can open .nbz files directly... it can do lots of things, but I noticed sometimes you get
errors
unless you are at the top level ebase and the nodeball files are in a subdirectory of ebase/nodeballs.
Confused yet?
It will actually make more sense when you
download
it and play with it.
