SQWIDGET COMPRESSOR
h2. A web asset optimization tool

Workflow

  1. Compresses gif,png,and jpeg image assets.
  2. Concatenates and minifies css and javascript files.
  3. Embeds inline image assets linked from the stylesheet into data:uris or mhtml(ie < v8).

Status

This code is in Pre-pre-alpha state.. At the moment it barely does point 1 and 2 and it does not have yet
user interface whatsoever.

Requirements

(assuming that you are running Ubuntu Linux )
  • apt-get install gifsicle
  • apt-get install pngcrush
  • apt-get install libjpeg-progs
  • apt-get install rubygems
  • gem install yui-compressor
  • gem install closure-compiler
  • gem install rspec (testing only)

Running it

In order to reproduce the same directory structure that I am currently
using while developing/testing the compressor, downlad Polpo, a Drupal theme
(this was almost a random, arbitrary choice).

  • wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/polpo-6.x-1.1.tar.gz
  • tar zxvf polpo-6.x-1.1.tar.gz
  • mv polpo specs/test_dir

then

ruby run.rb

This just triggers the execution chain. I would not say that at the moment this produces an informative output,
but I am working on that :)
