in particular the osinfo-pciids-convert and osinfo-usbids-convert depend on perl. It's not clear exactly what those bits do and whether they are critical. Unfortunately tracker now depends on libosinfo which means that as totem -> grilo-plugins -> tracker means we now get perl in the live images which adds significant size So it looks like there's two options, if the above two utils aren't critical (no man pages for them to be able to tell) they should be split out into a -perl or -utils sub package, or the libraries could be moved into a -libs sub package
We should probably just remove those two scripts. We added support to read pci.ids and usb.ids natively, so no longer need to convert them to XML first.

Unless this causes any live image to be bigger than their intended target size, it's not a blocker. Does it? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
(In reply to comment #3) > Unless this causes any live image to be bigger than their intended target size, > it's not a blocker. Does it? pulls perl in so not 100% on sizes, more likely to be nice to have if it doesn't. Sorry I couldn't remember if size was a beta or final blocker
size blocks beta, but only if the image is actually over target size. desktop image has a *lot* of slack below its target atm (700MB). so do most of the images, currently. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
I've fixed it regardless, and I've even deleted these obsolete perl scripts in upstream codebase, so they won't reappear in future updates.

Discussed at 2012-03-16 blocker review meeting. Agreed this is rejected as a blocker as it does not actually appear to cause any currently-generated image to go over its intended size, since they all have a lot of slack, so the criterion "The network installation image, DVD image, and live images for release-blocking desktops must meet current size requirements" is not in fact violated. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
libosinfo-0.1.0-2.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
