I don't know what the state of the project is, but it looks like what you wanted.
- tptacek 18y agoFiveRuns deploys berkdb's with AES-encrypted compressed Ruby source. I have no idea what the point of the encryption is here, because it's a speed bump to someone who wants the source code; the "player" needs the key to run the code, the key sits in memory, as does the decoded source code. This system looks even easier to deal with than a typical J2EE app; at least with J2EE, I have to fix up all the JAD artifacts. Beware of systems that offer packaged solutions to hard problems, like the software protection problem.
