「Create Archive」按鈕的原始意圖正是如此——為了收集所有組成部分(包括 TeX 巨集、來源 SFM 檔案、字體、插圖等),以便在另一個地點、在(遠)後期,甚至在不同的硬體(不同的作業系統)上產生完全相同的輸出。過去幾年的經驗告訴我們,很容易遺漏一個關鍵檔案,從而可能導致整個過程失敗(例如,我們最近發現 AdjLists 被遺漏了,因此後來已將其加入)。因此,目前我們出於謹慎考慮,可能會包含比實際需要的更多的檔案,但這是有充分理由的。
我相信 SourceCodePro-Light.ttf 被包含在內,是作為一種小型字體,用於處理列印裁切標記時頁面邊緣周圍的識別文字。其他字體非常重要,因為它們會隨時間不可避免地發生變化,標準字體(如 Charis SIL)的微小變化就足以導致整個工作失敗,或需要重新排版/平衡文字。
您可能是對的,.XDV 檔案對於真正的長期出版存檔來說並非必要,但在故障排除存檔的情況下,它有時會很有幫助。
因此,我建議如果大小確實是一個問題(出於上傳原因),請在上傳前仔細從 .ZIP 中剔除您認為多餘的檔案。但請小心,不要做出錯誤的假設。
目前有一個問題(增強請求 #499)涉及自動建立用於提交給 REAP 的存檔。我們最終希望達到那個狀態,但討論進展相當緩慢。
The original intention for the “Create Archive” button was exactly that - to be able to gather all the pieces (including the TeX macros, source SFM files, fonts, illustrations, and so on) in order for the exact same output to be produced in another location, at a (much) later time, and even on different hardware (with a different OS). Our experience over the last couple of years is that it is easy to miss one crucial file which potentially scuttles the whole process (for example we recently discovered that the AdjLists were being missed, so they have since been added). So, right now we’re erring on the side of caution and possibly including more than we need to, but for good reason.
I believe that SourceCodePro-Light.ttf has been included as a small font to handle the identification text around the edge of the page when cropmarks are printed. The other fonts are VERY important as they inevitably change over time, and you only need a minor change to a standard font like Charis SIL for the whole job to break, or require reflowing/balancing the text.
You are probably right that the .XDV file isn’t needed for a true long-term publication archive, but it is sometimes helpful in the case of a troubleshooting archive.
So I would suggest that if size is an issue (for upload reasons), that you carefully weed out any files from the .ZIP that you feel are superfluous before uploading. But be careful not to make any wrong assumptions.
There is an issue out there (enhancement request #499) regarding the automatic creation of an archive for submission to REAP. That’s where we’d like to be eventually, but the discussion is progressing rather slowly.
