Why is the ipod4g UI so slow with the most recent dailies? (SOLVED)

<< < (3/4) > >>

Llorean:
The current build is all the most recent changes. That's why it's current. If you read the current build page it even explains that the daily build is older.

Dailies are made once per day. Current builds are made every time Rockbox is changed by a developer, which includes the most recent bug fixes (and the most recent bugs, but if a daily gets a major but easily fixable bug it's stuck with it for 24 hours, a current build with a major but easily fixable bug is likely to have it for only a few minutes to a few hours).

Shovas:
Wow, you know I read that but I assumed it was only rebuilt for major changes because I didn't imagine they had a system setup to recompile everything any time a change committed, heh. Impressive.

Llorean:
We actually have a distributed build set up.

Every time a change is committed, 59 builds take place across 12 computers (currently) which are then delivered back to the master build server, with the 23 builds that users can actually download being made available on the page for download as they're completed. The other builds are simulator and bootloader builds that aren't intended for use, and are just intended to verify that the committed changes have not introduced compilation errors.

Shovas:
Downright impressive. I updated my script to use the current build. I enabled a wack of features to see if I could crash it / bog it down when playing that particularly problematic song. Still testing.

Shovas:
Well, it doesn't want to actually start playing the file. I can't force it to play a file. It just loads up the file info, displays the normal playing screen but doesn't get into playing the file.

I'll try again tomorrow.
