Document the JS/CSS build process

Release Process

When making a Stable Branch from which to build releases, we need to do these tasks:

Check that all works with a released version of Web2Py

Ensure included files sane:

  • README
  • VERSION
  • CHANGELOG

Compress JS & CSS files

Browsers default to only downloading 2 files from the same origin at a time, so many files is very slow on high latency links.
We therefore consolidate into fewer, larger files when running in Production mode.

Since GIS is a specialised app which requires many files, it's JS & CSS are loaded separately when required.

The build script is static/scripts/tools/build.sahana.py
There is also a convenience wrapper for Windows to run this & also move results into their respective locations: static/scripts/tools/build.cmd

Our build process is based on the one used by MapFish (which is built on the one used by OpenLayers)
