LeoCAD AppImage size now is doubled

Open Symbian9 opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

Why size of latest continuous AppImage builds now is > 80 MB?

For example, size of LeoCAD-Linux-2ec0181-x86_64.AppImage was < 40 MB.

the parts library is bigger now and the appimage is compiled with debug information

I hope, release AppImage would be stripped?

@leozide would be a good idea to recommend the complete.zip and/or ldrawunf.zip download(s) from the official ldraw website rather than package it. I must agree, 80mb download, especially if trying new builds constantly can be hefty when on the go.

to recommend the ldraw.zip

Just a small correction: not a ~~ldraw.zip~~, but a complete.zip (and ldrawunf.zip, optionally)

Is there something left to do? Can this be closed?
