What does the "combine" code do in core 5.2.4

[Michael Sharman]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if I can get some info on what the "combine" code does
in the 5.2.4 tag of "core"?

/core/packages/farcry/combine/

Reason being our servers are locked down to not allow write access to
any directories unless specified (i.e. specific image upload paths
etc) and it looks like this combine is trying to create a 'cache'
directory. That could answer my question, but an official word is
always nice :)

Thanks,

Michael

I think Mat based it off of Joe Robert's combine.cfc (not 100% sure  
though).  reference: http://combine.riaforge.org/

Combine merges, minifies and writes to disk with an appropriate ETAG,
all FarCry JS and CSS files. The stuff happening in 5.2.x is a prelude
to being able to load and overload your own JS/CSS for Core to use for
formtools etc.  It provides much improved performance for JS/CSS
delivery in general.  Plus you will be able to designate a CDN for
these writes depending on your environment.

You will need to grant write permissions to ./www/cache

PS. We did consider Joe Robert's combine.cfc (http://
combine.riaforge.org) but in the end wrote our own
