Hi All,
<rant> Has anyone else here unexpectedly stumbled upon texlive's phenomenally voluminous installed packages list and been stunned by it's footprint? Over 900 -doc packages, alone?! I don't recall explicitly selecting to install it. IMHO, it should have it's own 'package group' or 'pattern' instead of being pulled in with anything else. And how about the package names seemingly being seeded with odd selections designed to bork obvious pattern matching, hence frustrating rapid, bulk removal of texlive from the system? ... -doc-doc, -bin-bin, -font-fonts and there are others. Really? >:-( </rant>
Have a nice day,

This has always been a pain, and not just on opensuse. There are a whole smattering of packages that have texlive hooks. Thankfully with KDE3 (and a full suite of apps), I only have one package: $ rpm -qa | grep -i texlive texlive-lm-fonts-2015.104.2.004svn28119-20.2.noarch It still has a whopping size of (16M): Size : 16592096 Arch is no better, you get the whole texlive-bin package a double the size for any texlive dependency. In the days for Gigabyte drives, it's just something I ignore. Now with embedded systems, it would be much more an issue.... -- David C.
