Hi, Despite the fact that I don't want to be called "the one who reinvented the wheel", I'm still writing this mail :) I've found that some YaST packages have a huge amount of documentation but honestly, who reads such documentation and how often? Do we really want to have all this data in a minimal installation? This script checks all yast2* packages for size of their documentation and prints a sum at the end: SUM=0; for size in `du -s /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2* | \ sed 's/\([^ \t]*\).*/\1/'`; do \ echo $size; SUM=`expr 0${SUM} + ${size}`; done; \ echo; echo "Sum: ${SUM}" My system has about 58 MB of YaST documentation written in HTML. These are the biggest sinners: du -s /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2* | \ sort --general-numeric-sort | tail -n 10 646 /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2-repair 694 /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2-bootloader 737 /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2-nis-server 740 /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2-installation 1030 /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2-pkg-bindings 1073 /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2-network 1710 /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2-printer 2619 /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2 12372 /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2-storage 23191 /usr/share/doc/packages/yast2-core Sizes are in kilobytes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The best solution could be creating YaST "${name}-doc" packages containing only the documentation. They could be installed by default on a normal KDE/GNOME installation but not selected for a minimal installation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It seems to be quite easy change in an RPM .spec file... At least these packages should be split into ${name} and ${name}-doc: yast2-installation (0.7 MB), yast2-pkg-bindings (1 MB), yast2-network (1 MB), yast2-printer (1.7 MB), yast2 (2.6 MB), yast2-storage (12 MB), and yast2-core (22.6 MB) Only these can save up to 41 MB. What do you think of that? -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o., Lihovarska 1060/12, Praha 9, Czech Republic
