Dear geekos,
Our beloved DVD, which we build for each Tumbleweed snapshot, is really at its limits space wise (today's snapshot actually grew over size compared to the last one, and I already had to drop some things).
I'm looking to gain more space to free up; but it seems not to be that easy.
IMHO every package maintainer should look to keep unnecessary stuff out of their packages. E.g. on my oS-13.2 system: $ find /usr/share/doc/packages -iname changelog -o -iname news \ | xargs du -shxc | tail -n1 104M total $ find /usr/share/doc/packages -iname changelog -o -iname news \ | xargs wc -l | sort -h | tail -n5 96303 /usr/share/doc/packages/gimp-help-browser/ChangeLog 96303 /usr/share/doc/packages/gimp/ChangeLog 99868 /usr/share/doc/packages/gstreamer/ChangeLog 211966 /usr/share/doc/packages/gnome-control-center/ChangeLog 3123120 total Who needs the full 3M lines of changelog and news when e.g. everything after the first let's say 10k lines could be replaced by a URL into the original repo/homepage/etc.? (I could imagine that some OBS checking rules could enforce such this.) Just a little example, and I know these text files are compressed in the RPMs, but as Dominique said: it simply sums up with the many thousands of packages. WDYT?
