Re: Windows Snapshot Builds

[Phillip Lord]

The installer version *should* be the same as the full deps tar ball (I
make the tar ball first, then the installer version). The lzma
compression is just a lot better than the zip (especially for a large
number of small files). Which is probably why the installer takes a long
time to build.

Still, I checked. The uncompressed size is about the same:

~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Emacs/x86_64$ du -shc *
311M    bin
1.3M    etc
16M     include
194M    lib
8.6M    libexec
262M    share
844K    ssl
792M    total


emacs-windows$ du -shc *
276M    bin
1.3M    etc
16M     include
193M    lib
8.2M    libexec
262M    share
844K    ssl
755M    total

Why it isn't *exactly* the same size I don't know and worries me a bit.
