ja->is: maybe something to look at I forgot to say in my original comment that using UDBZ saved 11.7% in file size compared to the original dmg file (179.4 -> 158.4 MB). A 21 MB reduction. packaging is already damn slow on mac, so filesize is not everything… cloph, I wonder if this the time this would add to the total time of packaging would be negligible? It would be interesting to see if it made it any slower. It can't take more several minutes to compress several hundred meg's on dual core mac. Okay, this requires only one little change in solenv/bin/modules/installer/simplepackage.pm from UDZO to UDBZ. Changing this will be easy. But there are other disadvantages: Mounting the disk image requires more time. Copying the files to application folder takes more time. Adding dv, of and macport to cc The images compressed with the option UDBZ are way slower than the ones we currently use. Copying OpenOffice.org from such an image to the local hard disk took 105 seconds compared to 22 seconds for the old format (tested with a mac mini). reassigning to default owner... - pro: saving bandwidth - con: slowing down packaging, increasing installation or mounting disk image time So I would prefer to keep the build process as it is @ md: Would you like to decide? MD: Based on the data in this issue I reject this request to make use of UDBZ format. The performance decrease would be a major regression. Closing this issue. closed |
