%general-entities; ]> Brotli Brotli provides a general-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling. Its libraries are particularly used for WOFF2 fonts on webpages. &lfs120_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &brotli-md5sum; Download size: &brotli-size; Estimated disk space required: &brotli-buildsize; Estimated build time: &brotli-time; Brotli Dependencies Required Optional (for testing Python3 bindings) Install brotli by running the following commands: mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ .. && make To test the results, issue: make test. Now, as the root user: make install If desired, build the Python3 bindings: cd .. && sed "/c\/.*\.[ch]'/d;\ /include_dirs=\[/\ i libraries=['brotlicommon','brotlidec','brotlienc']," \ -i setup.py && &build-wheel-cmd; $PWD Install the Python3 bindings as the &root; user: &install-wheel; Brotli To test the Python3 binding, issue: pytest. sed ... -i setup.py: Stop setup.py from rebuilding the entire package all over again, use the already installed libraries for the Python3 binding instead.
