unmatching outcome

[fedeghe]

Hello, first of all thank You for the great work!!! Dean you are one of my heroes!!! But I'm not here for adulation: starting from the same code the node version has a different result then the one obtained in http://dean.edwards.name/packer/
( Base62 encoded, no Shrink variables )
the first breaks, the second run smooth as expected
I use the node version on a builder I wrote, it would be great if the node port could be as reliable as the online version.
Many Thanks

My name is not Dean, sorry. This was a port I did a long time ago and the community has moved on since then. Now most people use uglify. I was keeping this port up in case people are depending on it, but it's not intended for use with new projects. I would recommend using uglify instead because it's a large community effort and is more durable than packer.

If you're still interested in using this library, I can try to fix it. It'll be easier to make sure it's fixed if you give me an example of code that is currently broken.

Then sorry Evan,

No, I think I will definitely follow you advice and migrate to uglifyjs
once for all.

Thanks

Sure, uglify has a strong support...

But:

• original JS code = 417 KB
• uglified = 123 KB
• packing the uglified code with packer = 81 KB

That's one third file size reduction and the code still works. One third is significant enough for me to post this message and give this some support.

And the only thing for this little project to work is to update the jsdom to new version which does not depend on contextify which does not work for node js 7 :)
