Hey,
Just to give some quick information on some stuff I've been working on in the past few days. As some people noticed, we lost a few apps on the livecd for m5 because of package conflicts and because of size issues.
[...]
+ smolt has been split in smolt and smolt-gui. The smolt-gui part is the only part that requires python-qt4 (quite big). So we'll remove it from the live cd. But to do that, we first need to update the patch in gnome-packagekit that runs smolt on the first login to not use the gui, but a small helper. This is not hard to do and I can guide people there. => help needed
Help has been granted and I'm working on this one :-)
+ Sandy has been working to try to get rid of mono-winforms on the livecd. It's required by mono-web, which is required by various apps.
+ there's some work to split the debugging information from mono packages in the proper debuginfo packages. This should help quite a bit too. See http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528851
+ we're trying to get rid of some not-that-interesting icon themes in OOo. See http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529404
+ I'm splitting the support for tcl plugins in libpurple (pidgin) and xchat into subpackages. There are only three packages on the m5 livecd requiring tcl and tk: libpurple, xchat and python-openl. So this automatically should go away soon.
I have not tried it, but if we replace pidgin with empathy, how is empathy as an IRC client? Perhaps we could get rid of xchat all together if we go ahead.
