Re: [Libreoffice] Windows installer size reduction effort - the compression theory

Compression time (in the tinderbox) was: runtime: 1087.37 (minutes) now: runtime: 1232.32 (minutes) Is it okay for us? Or it is too big penalty? I asked Fridrich to make available the latest tb Windows build for download. I would like to check the installer size and performance. KAMI -- Best re

Hi Kami, Wow - I'm so sorry, I missed your sexy mail for a week; that sucks - over-much merging on another branch :-) Tor has been on FTO, and Fridrich with his head down releasing 3.3.1 (and the Novell LibreOffice product) - which in part explains the lack of response to you (and Steven)

Re: [Libreoffice] Windows installer size reduction effort - the compression theory

Hi Michael and Friends of LibreOffice, I ran few test to figure out what is the best method for installset compressing (se the attached document and diagram). I cheated a bit, because I used the tools (7z, zip, cabmake) and I didn't modified build environment. So I downloaded LibO_3.3.1rc2_Win_x86

[Libreoffice] Windows installer size reduction effort - the compression theory

Hi, I am sure we can shrink the installer more with better compression settings. Unfortunately I am not able to try these theory now because I have problem with Windows based build system. So any participation related to this topic is welcome The current situation: We are using double compression
