Adding a true "JeOS selection" would be nice too.
I support this, may you could make an entry in openfate?
Thinking over again I guess it's not really possible to create a static truly minimal JeOS selection which would satisfy a large common user base. But generally reviewing packages and their dependencies with "JeOS capability" in mind could be useful to ease users to customize/minimize their installations. I see these most important points: 1. Find large packages and split them if possible. 2. Remove useless dependencies (specially to locales, 32bit, ... ) 3. Make sure "zypper dup" is keeping an installation as minimal as before. 4. Find the worst space consumers at runtime (/var, /tmp) and try to make them more nice. I guess all these points (except 4.) are part of openSUSE conventions already so such feature request would be more likely just a review request. It would be helpful to collect some concrete tasks to be done. For example as a special case for 1. I'd like to have /lib/modules/ customized which consumes about 1/4 of a current server selection. The existing smaller kernel-*-base packages didn't matched my use cases so far AFAIR. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
