 Dan, there was Monolingial and another app mentioned in this

The other one was 'Delocalizer' and it does not do anything about  
alternate architectures.

Truthfully, stripping fat binaries never gains you a whole lot of free  
space, because the vast bulk of most applications lies in the  
resources and help files.

For example: TextEdit is 22.1 MB in size. The actual textEdit compiled  
binary part, which includes both PPC and X86 code? 264K.

Monolingual will strip the extra language resources out of the app,  
too, I think, which will result in a lot of savings. Manually  
stripping the extra language resources from TextEdit cut it down to  
1.9 mb. No need to screw up the binaries as well.

A long time ago (meaning I don't know if this is currently true, I

it destroyed the ability to search within Safari, and some versions

aback, and replied that I didn't think that hiding active code within  
the language files was a good idea, and that AFAIK no other  
applications did such a thing. It seemed as if this developer was  
acknowledging that the bug that I reported was in actuality  
purposeful and they were not only aware of it, but were dismissing  
my bug report because Webkit was designed to not work if certain  
languages were removed. I thought this was crazy, and still do. I hope  
things have changed since then?

While I cannot comment on what code was or was not included with the 
localizations,,, I agree with the sentiment.  Developers work hard to 
produce *working* products.  Having a user lobotomize them 
intentionally is just bad juju.  Then there's the horrible support 
problem...

As to the need for localization code... I can think of quite a few 
reasons for it.  Depends on the languages involved - quite a few are 
not simple word-for-word substitutions to engrish.

Re: Mozilla apps - Optimized for G3/G4

2009-06-16 Thread Lawrence David Eden

RPM has posted her builds of the latest Firefox 3.0.11.

Note that the Moz developers have finally updated the app names, so
they build correctly.  Only official builds are allowed to use the
Firefox name.  All others, like these 3rd party optimized builds, are
required to use the code names.  It's a marketing thing...

Firefox 1.5Deer Park
Firefox 2.xBon Echo
Firefox 3.xGran Paradiso

and of course, Minefield is the bleeding edge main trunk.

Optimized builds of Camino, SeaMonkey, and Thunderbird are also
available on RPM's page.



How are the above mentioned builds different from the version that 
Firefox automatically updated my BW to?  (Firefox 3.0.11.)

They lack the code for any processor type other than the CPU for which  
they are optimised (British spelling of RPMs page). They may be a  
tad faster, but I tried many of the Optimized versions on Furbism's  
page (http://firefoxmac.furbism.com/), and some didn't function  
completely; whereas the normal, multi-CPU versions always worked, so  
I'm a little skeptical of these homemade optimized versions. If  
you're really short on HD space they may save a few MB, but running  
Monolingual can extract the non-CPU specific code also, so there are  
two ways to skin this cat.

The generic builds, provided by the Mozilla team, are compiled for 
use on all powerpc processors.  Except for a few instances, they use 
only the instructions available in common with all those processors.

The optimized builds contain code and instructions optimized 
*specifically* for that one processor.

They are always faster than the generic builds.  On slower Macs, they 
are noticeably MUCH faster.

tried many of the Optimized versions on Furbism's page, and some 
didn't function completely

Furby's builds are bleeding edge nightly, alpha, and beta test, so 
they're often buggy.

Monolingual does NOT remove code.  It strips out alternate language

Yes it does, from the readme:

Q. Should I remove the non-Intel architectures on my Intel based Mac?

A. You can use Monolingual to remove non-Intel architectures for your  
installed applications (even if some of the applications are PowerPC- 
only; Monolingual is smart enough not to remove PPC forks if those are  
the only ones in the universal binary). However, you should not strip  
the System frameworks if you want to use Rosetta. Rosetta needs the  
PowerPC code for all frameworks used by the emulated application and  
if it can't find it, you may see messages such as the following in the  
console:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa:
mach-o, but wrong architecture

It's two different types of G4 CPU.

The early G4 were 7400, later were 7450.

Your 867 dual is 7450.

Ok.  I sit corrected. :)  Last time I looked at Monolingual, it just 
stripped language resources.

Lookin at it now... heh.  +/- breaking signed and checksum'd apps 
(yes, I see the exception list), I can see where this would be good 
for saving some disk space.

But it has nothing to do with compilation optimizations.  This is the 
equivalent of throwing out the spare tire and the rest of the stuff 
in your trunk, just to save .1 mpg -- the original engine tuning is 
not touched.  Compilation optimizing is the equivalent of installing 
a higher-performance carburetor and fine tuning it, etc, in order to 
jack up the gas mileage significantly.

Note that once you've hit the system and apps with this tool, they 
are forever damaged.  Diff type updaters (albeit rare) will see 
their targets as damaged.  A clone of your system can never be used 
on system with a different processor (big down-side, IMO).  And, as 
time goes on, when you apply updates, you'll have to keep using 
Monolingual so as to keep that .1 mpg.

Mozilla apps - Optimized for G3/G4

2009-06-15 Thread Dan

RPM has posted her builds of the latest Firefox 3.0.11.

Note that the Moz developers have finally updated the app names, so 
they build correctly.  Only official builds are allowed to use the 
Firefox name.  All others, like these 3rd party optimized builds, are 
required to use the code names.  It's a marketing thing...

Firefox 1.5Deer Park
Firefox 2.x Bon Echo
Firefox 3.x Gran Paradiso

and of course, Minefield is the bleeding edge main trunk.

Optimized builds of Camino, SeaMonkey, and Thunderbird are also 
available on RPM's page.

Enjoy!

- Dan.

Here's a link, but honestly, you should learn to use Google. I'd never  
heard of this before, and it took me 10 seconds to find the link. So  
you'll know, I searched the terms: rpm optimized seamonkey. It wasn't  
the 1st hit on Google, it was the 10th hit, and that was because the  
british spell optimized as optimised, so the difference between a z  
and an s caused a slight glitch. The general rule on searching is to  
try specific search terms, in this case, seamonkey is the most  
specific, and to delineate from other versions, the term optimized  
was used. rpm is a requirement, but it also VERY common and vague,  
so it's only there because it's likely an absolute requirement. It  
doesn't take long to learn how to search effectively for yourself.

d'oh.  I can't believe I left it out. :(   Sorry 'bout that.

http://www.rpm-mozilla.org.uk/

Thx Kris.


Addendum:  The file service that RPM is using has set their server's 
file type handling badly... so when you download the archives, 
they'll be .dmg.html.  Just rename them to be just .dmg, then they'll 
open properly.
