Changelog:
- Added DwarFS support. DwarFS is a fast high compression read-only file system, a good alternative to SquashFS (which Conty uses by default). The only major (imo) inconvenience with dwarfs-compressed images is that the mount time is pretty slow on HDDs (around 10 seconds, at least on the first launch). But if you don't mind to wait a few seconds on Conty launch or if you are using an SSD, then don't hesitate to try the dwarfs-compressed version of Conty and report issues you find (if any).
- Added a launch argument (
-m) to mount and unmount the image on demand. - Some other small fixes and improvements.
Usage:
chmod +x conty.sh
./conty.sh command command_arguments
The lite version (conty_lite.sh) includes everything from the regular version (conty.sh), except for: gcc, mingw-w64-gcc, firefox, meson, cmake and jre-openjdk. If you don't plan to use any of these programs, i recommend to use the lite version.
conty_lite_lz4.sh is the same as conty_lite.sh but with lz4 compression instead of zstd.
conty_dwarfs.sh is the same as conty.sh but compressed with dwarfs instead of squashfs, thus it takes less disk space. Mounting dwarfs-compressed images is relatively slow on HDDs (takes about 10 seconds), so i only recommend to use this version if you don't mind to wait a few seconds on Conty launch or if you are using an SSD.
zsync files are for zsync2 program. If you have any of the previous releases of Conty downloaded, you can use zsync2 to reduce data needed for downloading a new release. This may be useful if you have slow internet connection or internet data cap. Read zsync manual for more information.
