<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.

Yes, I needed it for some pdf manipulations (images/join/split) and also was surprised by the amount of packages it pulls in (both TW and 42.2). -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
