Install new version of Dean Edwards' packer

Submitted by Art on Mon, 03/24/2008 - 14:45.

Hello.
Currently, packer version 3.0 (beta 7) is used in dojo. There is more fresher version of packer on Dean Edwards site (http://dean.edwards.name/my/) - version 3.0 (final).
I want install this version of packer into dojo on my local machine. Can someone help me?

I copied new file (base2.js, Packer.js, Words.js) in dojo-release-1.0.2\util\buildscripts\jslib\packer\, then I tried to create custom build with option "layerOptimize=packer". However following error happened:
js: "jslib/packer/Packer.js", line 96: uncaught JavaScript runtime exception: ReferenceError: "Array2" is not defined.
Did I make something wrong?

Array2 is part of his base2 framework so you probably need to install array.js from base2 as well.

I have resolved my issue.

Base2.js already contain “pseudo-subclass” Array2. I appended following code in top Packer.js:
eval(base2.JavaScript.namespace);

Thereafter, packer works normally. I have found this solution solution on Dean Edwards site: http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/
