Rainpress is a compressor for CSS. It's written in ruby, but should not be limited to ruby projects.

Rainpress does not apply common compression algorithms like gzip, it removes unnecessary characters and replaces some attributes with a shorter equivalent name.

Installation:

• Rainpress 1.0 as 7z-archive or ZIP-archive
• There are UbuntuPackages available
• Check out the Subversion trunk with

svn checkout http://rainpress.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ rainpress

Usage:

• per CLI: ruby rainpress.rb -i

  <infile>

  -o

  <outfile>

• as a library:

require 'rainpress/packer.rb'

packer = Rainpress::Packer.new

• Dependecies: just ruby (libgettext-ruby needed for standalone executable)
