The disc1 package set currently tries to include Mozilla in addition to the gnome-specific version of Mozilla. This is a big duplication of precious disk space. Can the port be modified (possibly only or release package builds) to be leaner and more conservative with what it includes? We really want to continue to include both KDE and GNOME on disc1 but that is hard to do. - Murray ----- Forwarded message from Scott Long <scottl@freebsd.org> ----- From: Scott Long <scottl@freebsd.org> Subject: 5.2-BETA disc1 is overflowing To: re@freebsd.org, portmgr@freebsd.org Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2003 19:00:31 -0700 (MST) All, This is the result of putting the print-cdrom.sh packages on x86 disc1: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 779845632 Nov 25 17:27 5.2-BETA-i386-miniinst.iso (ignore the miniinst name for the moment) This is seriously overfilled, and we need to take some drastic action to cut it. Options: 1. Remove GNOME or KDE. KDE looks to be much bigger, likely because of koffice. 2. Figure out some way to trim down the dependency list for GNOME and KDE. One thing that I noticed was that GNOME included it's own version of mozilla, in addition to the normal mozilla! 3. Massively cut down other ports. 4. Give up and not do disc1 packages anymore. Suggestions? Scott ----- End forwarded message -----
