Rockbox mail archiveSubject: zip / fontzip / fullzipzip / fontzip / fullzip

Date: Wed, 10 May 2006 16:05:36 +0200 (CEST) Hey I have a pending patch I wanted to tell the list about first and possibly get some further feedback before I commit. It basically moves out the fonts from the ordinary zip builds. The reasoning here is that the fonts are the same for all targets and they change VERY rarely. Getting and installing the same fonts every time is kind of pointless. Moving them out of the primary zip file also makes it easier for us to add even more fonts without it having a major impact on the thousands of daily downloaded packages. 'make zip' will then create zip files that look like today except for the fonts. 'make fontzip' is a new make target that builds a rockbox-fonts.zip file with nothing but the fonts. 'make fullzip' builds a package like the current zip - with all of rockbox _and_ the fonts. The rockbox-fonts.zip is almost 1MB so the gain is pretty noticable. This is also of course a gain in the CVS build system where each build server no longer has to send back the same fonts to the master build server at every build. I imagine that I'll make a daily font package for the daily build page, just in case. Comments?
