Project Details
Pidora includes an OpenGL-powered boot screen, which uses the Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix logo. This existing package is called raspi-splash-1.0-1 and available from http://koji.pidora.ca/koji/buildinfo?buildID=39918 .
The existing package use many image frames zipped and stored within the package. The code unzip each frame every time it runs; therefore it runs very slow and takes up memory. This project to write new script to utilize OpenGL effectively to achieve faster and smaller software with the new Pidora logo.
