In my opinion, openSUSE is not the distro for users wanting their software taking the minimal disk space possible with everything not needed perceived as "bloat" that has to be removed. It's just not a minimal distro.
You can try if you wish blocking packages and stuff at the expense of it taking a lot of your time and the possiblity of breaking stuff for what...saving 1 or 2GB of disk space with the fuzzy feeling of duty achieved ? Or you can just relax and don't care an let the system do its stuff.
The only case where I locked packages is texlive as > 1000 packages for it is a bit too much, or if I install manually a program that conflicts with a package.
That is not to say some improvement can be made in term of dependencies. But I quite like that each installed package is full featured.
If you have a laptop with a small disk, let's say 128 or 256 GB, space *will* matter. Having a bunch of things you don't use/need is inefficient. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
