Description: LZMA support is firstly designed for Crosswalk Lite, this feature remarkably reduced the apk size(about 30%) by introducing an LZMA compression algorithm.
We want to backport some feature from Crosswalk Lite to Crosswalk, after discussion and voting, we’ve reach an agreement here: https://docs.google.com/a/intel.com/spreadsheets/d/1RJOKGOABE_IhEnnA1RfbFqS95jxY9kV5MX_4rUGG6jE/edit#gid=0 Since the size is critical for Crosswalk, this feature is warmly welcomed by developers. Related feature: LZMA support for Crosswalk: JIRA: https://crosswalk-project.org/jira/browse/XWALK-3810 Pull Request: https://github.com/crosswalk-project/crosswalk/pull/3004 LZMA support for Crosswalk Lite: Pull Request: https://github.com/d0ngjun/crosswalk/commit/671f6b6bc4c0f8abb4376b57a52fb8847b4ae21e Implementation details: This use the LZMA library from SevenZip (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/lzma920.tar.bz2). Unzip it, you can find the license in lzma.txt: LZMA SDK is written and placed in the public domain by Igor Pavlov. The app will firstly extract the compressed library in its package, if it doesn’t found the library or if the library is older. After the decompression is complete, method onXWalkReady in class XWalkActivity will be invoked. This feature will add a new build flag(use_lzma) into make_apk.py, default value is disable. Risks/Opens: 1. Need to resolve many conflictions(for LZMA is base on Crosswalk Lite, which involve some Lite only feature). 2. Pay attention to Crosswalk <-> Crosswalk Lite cross upgrading. Interface Changes: Add --enable_lzma parameter into make_apk.py: True: compress the libxwalkcore.so, then move it into res/raw directory. False: do not compress libxwalkcore.so (default behavior). -----Original Message----- From: Huo, Halton Sent: Tuesday, May 5, 2015 11:11 PM To: [email protected]; Dong, Jun Cc: Kubo Da Costa, Raphael; Christiansen, Kenneth R Subject: RE: [Crosswalk-dev] Intent to Implement: LZMA support for Crosswalk Hi Jun, Could you send updated version of this Intent so that others can continue on reviewing.
