Perhaps someone's hit issues when uncompressing it -- perhaps on an older build?

I'd recommend making the large bundle and testing that it unpacks
without OOM'ing a "loaded" XO (by which I mean, several activities
open so as to create memory pressure).

cheers,

I'm pretty sure this is nonsense...
63mb should be fine. Of course, it will eat 63mb on every XO that it
is installed on, but there won't be any issues with the actual
installation or usage.

The page says: "
How big is your collection? If the size of your entire collection
is between 5-20MB, you're all set. Otherwise, you'll need to make two
bundles-- one bundle of 5-20MB for use on individual laptops, and a
second bundle of unlimited (but reasonable) size for inclusion on each
school's library server. "

Why? 63mb should be fine in 1 bundle.

[Server-devel] splitting large xol

2009-09-04 Thread Sameer Verma
We have a offline dictionary that we'd like to ship as xol. Its
tar.bz2 is at 63MB. Reading the instructions, it looks like the bundle
will have to be split across two files.
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Content_bundles#Selecting_content We do have
a schoolserver in the mix, so hosting both parts will be ok (I hope
so!).

How do we split the xol across two bundles?
