Hi,
As texlive was updated vom 2007 to 2008 in factory, it also grew from 159MB to 266MB and that made the milestone2 DVDs exceed the limits you can burn on DVD.
I made a quick hack and removed qt4 documentation, which is also impressive 90MB. Werner says that texlive upstream doesn't see the problem and doesn't provide a good way to split (it's own distribution is a DVD or 2 CDs). And there is our problem: With every release it eats more and more of the openSUSE DVDs and I'm afraid it exceeded a sane limit - as it's far from mainstream I would remove it.
I use it... but sure, remove it from the DVD. If it needs to go in a media, probably that could be an openSUSE-Education thing?
To give you an impression let me give you a list of packages on build112 DVD sorted by size:
266M noarch/texlive-2008-5.1.noarch.rpm 83M noarch/libqt4-devel-doc-data-4.5.1-1.1.noarch.rpm 72M noarch/kernel-source-2.6.30-4.1.noarch.rpm 32M x86_64/koffice-illustration-1.6.3-214.26.x86_64.rpm 27M x86_64/java-1_6_0-openjdk-1.6.0.0_b16-1.2.x86_64.rpm 26M noarch/opensuse-manual_de-11.1-2.21.noarch.rpm 25M x86_64/kdebase3-3.5.10-22.12.x86_64.rpm 25M noarch/efont-unicode-0.4.2-215.37.noarch.rpm 25M noarch/OpenOffice_org-templates-presentation-layouts-3.0-1.78.noarch.rpm 24M noarch/xorg-x11-fonts-7.4-1.79.noarch.rpm 23M x86_64/kdebase4-workspace-4.2.85-1.3.x86_64.rpm 22M noarch/CID-keyed-fonts-MOE-20021114-339.17.noarch.rpm 21M noarch/opensuse-manual_en-11.1-29.17.noarch.rpm 20M x86_64/frozen-bubble-2.2.0rc1-1.46.x86_64.rpm 20M noarch/xemacs-packages-20070427-155.76.noarch.rpm 19M noarch/OpenOffice_org-icon-themes-3.1.0.2-1.1.noarch.rpm 19M x86_64/samba-client-3.3.4-1.1.x86_64.rpm 18M noarch/OpenOffice_org-help-ja-3.1.0.2-1.1.noarch.rpm 18M noarch/kde4-l10n-sv-doc-4.2.85-1.1.noarch.rpm
What called more my attention: - frozen-bubble-2.2.0rc1. I'm not against it, but probably you can fit two or three other games in that space. And note that the 2.2.0final version has been available in the "games" repository for a long time. - opensuse-manual_de. OK, I don't know Germany so much... but I would expect nobody is still using 56K modems there. I don't have any other package in mind for those 26M... but if is ever any need for space that package would be my first candidate to be removed. (no, I don't speak german ;-) ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
