| | 85 | Browsers default to only downloading 2 files from the same origin at a time, so many files is very slow on high latency links. |
| | 86 | |
| | 87 | We therefore consolidate into fewer, larger files when running in Production mode. |
| | 88 | |
| | 89 | Since GIS is a specialised app which requires many files, it's JS & CSS are loaded separately when required. |
| | 90 | |
| | 91 | The build script is {{{static/scripts/tools/build.sahana.py}}} |
| | 92 | |
| | 93 | There is also a convenience wrapper for Windows to run this & also move results into their respective locations: {{{static/scripts/tools/build.cmd}}} |
| | 94 | |
| | 95 | Need to remove the '@' from '@requires' in header of {{{/static/scripts/S3/jquery.form.js}}} as we need to compress this without the main file. |
| | 96 | |
| | 97 | Our build process is based on the one used by !MapFish (which is built on the one used by !OpenLayers) |
| | 98 | * !MapFish (inc OL): https://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/HowToBuild |
| | 99 | * !OpenLayers: http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/Profiles |

| | 101 | !ToDo: Investigate using other options instead: |
