Cygwin installer has now downloaded install packages some 6 hours.

Yeah, I know... That's a problem I need to solve, because we can't use apt-get with cygwin, and looking for the good programs in the Installer could be difficult.

[utri007]

I noticed that there is also ftp.funet.fi mirror. Installing from there i get 1400kb/s but it says "setup ini is older than previous". Will it work?

[utri007]

Why don't you release that tar archive wich is result of you Netscript?

What you mean with this

Amiga install script for pre compiled executable / program archive?? This should be easy way to generate amiga install scripts. http://aminet.net/package/util/misc/InstallerGen

Yes, I don't think the source is important, I just advise this source in the README because it's the one I used, but I suppose all the files are available in the whole sources. ^^

Because the main goal of NetScript is to be able to compile NetScript on any computer and if you want, to dig in the code. I can release the archive only, but it won't be always up to date.

What you mean with this

I mean, I want to do a very simple cygwin tutorial to follow in the README. The problem is, the more you add steps to a tutorial, the more it can be difficult to follow. If I say "Search this command in this window, then download this" 12 times or more, it is too deffecult to follow the tutorial, then, and moreover, if the name of a command changes, you might not find it. So, i prefered to make it simple : download everything, end everybody will be happy ! ^^ But I'll try to enhance this on a future version.

The NetSurf Amiga installScript is generated in the final tar archive you obtain at the end of NetScript execution, so I don't need to do one anymore, but thanks for this, it might be useful, one day ! ^^

OK respect for that. Thought you know devs usually release /publish binaries, so that "ordinary people" don't get comfused.

Prety soon I try to run you script, next 10 minits.

[wawrzon]

i think its worth releasing binaries as soon as it is working, not any sooner. and it isnt the case yet as i understand. so far the sources are enough if someone wants to help.

[utri007]

1.Download the ZIP archive from the branch you want by selecting the branch,
 then clicking the "Clone or download" button, then "Download ZIP".
 You can download the files from the master branch by clicking this link.
2.Extract the ZIP archive into a folder located in your personal directory ;
If you don`t change the cygwin install directory, it`s probably C:\cygwin\home\*Name of your windows session*
3.Open Cygwin and Move to the directory containing the files (via the cd command) ;
4.Use this command to start NetScript : ./NetScript.sh ;

4th part was easy, no problems.

By the way, thanks.

You already have binaries.  Nothing has changed since my last release (or, at least, nothing relevant).

The aim here was to make it easier to build, and hence easier to contribute to.

[utri007]

OK. Clever move. Now you guys should advertise this a little?

Don't forget I'm yet a beginner ! :lol: Thanks again and again for your feedback ! ^^ Maybe I'll tidy up the git repo or I'll create one only for releases or binaries, but of course NetScript will stay my first priority.

I agree with you, because first I need to enhance NetScript even if it works now (because cygwin is quite long to download with all the Dev tools), and then there is always the DukTape and Memory issues to see (and the actual NetSurf version is a dev version, too).

Great ! You're welcome !

Yeah, everything is available on the git NetSurf repo, and I don't want to be in competition with it ^^
NetScript is only a tool to compile easily NetSurf for AmigaOS3. Maybe if it's easy to implement, NetScript will be able to compile NetSurf for any OS, but I think I'm a daydreamer (and moreover, I'll focus on that in a looooong time, as it's a minor/optional feature) ! ^^

OK. Clever move. Now you guys should advertise this a little?

Why not ? I don't know how, but if wou have ideas and you want to be a NetScript advertiser... ^^

[chris]

I don't know where the other thread is and I don't have time to go looking for it right now, so...

@utri

Please try the latest test build and let me know if there is any improvement.
The amiga.org logo is still very red, but are any of the other images better?
Speed?

Colors are better. Merchandice picture right side of amiga.org look about right, even some netsurf buttons looks better, background color looks better. Looks much better.

Some reason my phone doesn't upload pictures to my cloud and I'm too tired to find out why. I would have uploaded pictures here.

About speed, it is decreased a bit, amiga.org loads now maybe 2 seconds longer. Two first pages loads fast, after that 2x, 4x, ..

As a side note : I have fblit configured in my 040 / AGA machine. It has huge impact to scrolling speed. Tested old and new versions same time, old version was running my 060 system wich doesn't have fblit installed.

EDIT: Pictures added, sorry poor quality.
EDIT:: Auto friend_bitmap does work now.

"Cache native versions" will have a huge impact too.  That may or may not counteract any benefit from fblit.

Still puzzled as to why the amiga.org logo is weird colours.
