[opensuse-gnome] Interesting space saving trick for our packages...
Hello, I was spying on Fedoras GDM package and came across something interesting: ======== # strip unneeded translations from .mo files # ideally intltool (ha!) would do that for us # http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474987 cd po grep -v ".*[.]desktop[.]in.*\|.*[.]server[.]in[.]in$\|.*[.]schemas[.]in$" POTFILES.in > POTFILES.keep mv POTFILES.keep POTFILES.in intltool-update --pot for p in *.po; do msgmerge $p %{name}.pot > $p.out msgfmt -o `basename $p .po`.gmo $p.out done ======== The bug mentions that for Evolution, the package shrinks by ~10%. If we're doing translations etc the same way as RH, it'd be worth looking at, since we could potentially fit more goodies on the LiveCD :-) Any takers?

Would be interesting to see if we get the same results; using lzma for our rpms might change this.

That'd be interesting, but I don't see us changing all of our spec files for this :-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Well, depends how you look at it :-) If it is actually saving ~10% for a lot of packages, then it'd be worth changing the .spec files. I don't think anyone wants to go and make this change alone, so it's something that could happen during a package update (which, I guess is not happening that much for 11.1 anymore but...). If I get some time this weekend, I'll have a look at it.

The -lang rpm package shrunk from 20mb to 19mb: Original package; 3479035 2008-11-01 14:49 evolution-2.24.1-9.1.x86_64.rpm 20367188 2008-11-01 14:50 evolution-lang-2.24.1-9.1.x86_64.rpm Modified package; 3479073 2008-11-01 14:05 evolution-2.24.1-8.1.x86_64.rpm 19513598 2008-11-01 14:06 evolution-lang-2.24.1-8.1.x86_64.rpm The installed size shrunk from with 4.5mb (From 66646 to 62363) I'll try with a few more packages to see what the effect is.

Looks interesting indeed, but it needs to be done via an RPM macro or not at all. Michael. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
