As usual, the live cd isos don't fit...
I've spent some time last night looking for suspicious dependencies,
etc. Here are some of the things I spotted:
* Some devel packages get dragged in:
- policycoreutils-gui pulls in selinux-policy-devel, which in turn
pulls in checkpolicy. Why ?
- mono-winforms pulls in libgdiplus-devel
* Some other questionable dependencies:
- man pulls in diffutils just so that man -a can optionally
use /usr/binb/cmp
- ekiga pulls in SDL ?
* Packages which appear too large for other reasons
- About half the size of mono-core seems to be .mdb files. Isn't
that debuginfo and should go in a -debuginfo package ?
- opal contains the largest shared library by far. Something must
go really wrong with the autogenerated C++ code there. The library
contains > 35.000 symbols...
- ghostscript ships the next largest shared library. From the looks
of it, this is because it includes copies of libpng, libjpeg,
libjasper and libz....
