locales/*.pak.info

[pws]

Hi,

In recent packages of CEF (i'm using windows packages) there is .pak.info file for each .pak file in "locales" folder.

Are these files really need to be part of CEF package?
For what these files are used for? (pointer of strings into .pak but why present in CEF package?)

Thanks

Patrick

There is README.txt file along with binaries that explains which files are required / optional.

Locale is detected differently on various platforms, but I guess if you set CefSettings.locale explicitilly then you could delete all other locales that you're not using (you should test). The default locale is "en-US" and last time I checked there was no .pak file for that locale, thus looks like it is embedded in libcef library.

thanks for the answer but the issue is not the .pak files where I'm fine with, but the .info one present for each .pak
Nothing in README.txt about .info

Patrick

I also see .pak.info files in Chromium on Linux, however I don't see these in Google Chrome v64 on Linux, so probably these files are not needed (test to be sure). I guess there were some changes in upstream Chromium and CEF build/distrib scripts are copying the whole locales/ directory instead of just .pak files and thus they appear.

The *.info files should not be included. I've filed https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/2375 for this.

Thanks for the ticket, I was suspecting they are not used but now I'm sure
