Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

What would be needed to get Apache Ant ported ?

Submitted by sirgeek on September 14, 2010 - 5:05pm

Afternoon All,

I'm trying to get a thumb drive setup so that I can use it to run some automated tests on individual people's machines (so that they can see everything on their machine, and not have to install anything).

I'm trying to setup ant (as the scripts to run everything are written in ant).

It needs Java (which I have installed on the thumbdrive). Should I just hardcode the JAVA_HOME to the JRE on the thumbdrive ?

Thanks for any help/suggestions !

Portable Alchemy

Although i know this app can run off a flash drive as is, i think it would be great if a portable launcher were created that could run it off the portable java runtime. their website is http://al.chemy.org/ Alchemy is a concept drawing tool that lets the user create shapes and the foundations of illustrations with a variety of tools.

Safari 5 portable version online?

Submitted by saronno on September 12, 2010 - 12:27pm

I noticed in this forum some old messages about Safari not being included in the portableapps.com database because of its license limitations, which would prevent the making of portable versions.

However, I found out a web site ([Link removed by Mod Tim, see below]) which actually claims to provide a fully portable version of Safari5 for Windows.

How can that be possible?

Can you put this on PortableApps website? CFserverUSB Portable

Submitted by veentje78 on September 9, 2010 - 6:34am

I was wondering if you could put a link on the
https://portableapps.com/apps/development page below "Server".
It's a Railo 3.1 Portable Coldfusion Webserver including MySQL 5
database, already running.
Maybe you can put you PortableApps logo at statup too, and I can put
your logo and website link on my site.

The link will be:
CFserverUSB - Portable Railo 3.1 Coldfusion webserver including MySQL
and MySQL Manager.

Hi everybody,

I'd like to suggest wsusoffline. It's a pair of scripts with a GUI for configuration.
The first script downloads microsoft security updates for various of their products (different Windows and Office versions) and saves them on a CD, DVD or a portable device.
The second script automatically detects the appropriate updates for the machine it is run on and installs those.

The products website is
http://www.wsusoffline.net/

The product is both open source and under GNU GPL.
