README.txt
This directory contains tools used in the packaging or deployment of OpenLayers.
Javascript minimizing tools:
* jsmin.c, jsmin.py:
jsmin.py is a direct translation of the jsmin.c code into Python. jsmin.py
will therefore run anyplace Python runs... but at significantly slower speed.
* shrinksafe.py
shrinksafe.py calls out to a third party javascript shrinking service. This
creates file sizes about 4% smaller (as of commit 501) of the OpenLayers
code. However, this also has the side effect of making you dependant on the
web service -- and since that service sometimes goes dead, it's risky to
depend on it.
