Ermine

Demo Applications

Here are some examples of Ermine applied to well-known programs.

All of these demo programs are fully functional and show Ermine's capabilities to deploy software of any size and with any number of dependencies on almost any GNU/Linux system without manual effort.

Usage

1. Download the program
2. Unpack: bunzip2 PROGRAM.bz2
3. Make executable: chmod +x PROGRAM
4. On systems with SELinux: chcon -t textrel_shlib_t PROGRAM
5. Start program: ./PROGRAM

Important notes

• The programs presented here can be used and distributed free of charge (as far as Ermine is concerned) on an "as is" basis. This means that under no circumstance we may be held liable for any damage resulting from their use.
• Each of those programs has its own licensing terms for distribution. Please check them on the respective programs web site.
• Files packed with Ermine are large, but may neither be modified with the strip program or on-the-fly executable compressors like UPX. If you do so, they will stop working.

Bug reports

If the packed version behaves different from the original one, please send us a detailed bug report.

The developers of the original program should not be bothered unless the bug can be reproduced in the same version of the original (i.e. unpacked) program.
