The first thing all of them said to me was something like "Woooah, 88 MB? Really?". We now officially support the Windows version, so now this is a major issue. Apart from that I think I've clearly shown that we also are not looking that well compared to our competitors on *nix. Where that 1 MB is about 1/8 of the whole package size (!). Packagers complained about our relatively large package size in the past. Especially for live CDs this is a major problem. Apart from that TheOneRing and I were able to reduce the 2.5.0 portable archive size from about 80 MB to 68 MB yesterday (exactly the size of the iTunes installer), that's a reduction of 15 % in a few hours. Not the other MB from before. ;-) Now that I understand how the packaging process works I'm quite sure we can relatively easy bring it down to less than 50 MB without any loss of functionality. Maybe even less, it's hard to tell. This would enable PC magazines to ship Amarok on their CDs. - -- Darkerradio Free Music Charts November 2011: http://www.darkerradio.com/news/free-music-charts-november-2011/ Klarmachen zum Ändern! -> http://www.piratenpartei.de/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk8DDmsACgkQOOggGLjBlhYyPgCgyNvUHTUaZynF5Vdilv2zJCnU bk8AnRqx8DSPae8j2Z7RtckOg9xc9BsI =yBUy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Amarok-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok-devel
