Frustrating. Again a lot of low-percentage growth, but what is really
killing us is the new packages that keep getting pulled in:
new package OpenEXR-libs: 823896
new package libv4l: 170205
new package gegl: 2161070
new package sane-backends-libs: 6404932
new package gnome-games: 18683521
new package babl: 341948
new package sgml-common: 135667
new package python-setuptools: 988965
new package pygtkglext: 368259
new package hplip-libs: 312821
new package sane-backends: 4246863
new package net-snmp-libs: 4707665
new package WebKit-gtk: 12024292
new package ilmbase: 408114
new package freeglut: 428017
new package lzma: 207155
new package PackageKit-udev-helper: 113030

new package libggz: 348426

new package PackageKit-yum-plugin: 114822

new package lm_sensors: 500370
new package gnome-doc-utils-stylesheets: 1090771
new package libicu: 17202512
new package lzma-libs: 92737

new package libieee1284: 69512
new package ggz-client-libs: 614106
new package yelp: 3333760
I assume a good chunk of these is because we need to reinstate the removal of gnome-games
and yelp, but there
some which are not explainable that way. E.g the new gimp now pulls in WebKit-gtk.
I can deactivate the internal help browser in GIMP, it currently has
stability issues anyway. Then it should use the external default browser
for displaying help (I don't know if we ship gimp-help in the live media
at all). Alternatively, I can split off the internal help browser so we
can leave that out on live media -- it should be installed on normal
installations though because (once it's not crashing) it's much faster
at startup than say firefox.
