Description Lubomir Rintel 2009-03-26 20:01:04 UTC
Hi,

Package's documentation is over 1 MB (ppl-0.10, 4112 kbytes). Creating a -doc subpackage and moving the documentation files there would save considerable space on the live media.

Thanks in advance!

I am not sure I understand: we already have a ppl-docs package.

Comment 2 Roberto Bagnara 2009-03-26 20:45:14 UTC
One possibility would be to include the ChangeLog in bzip2 format.  But I don't know if this is compatible with Fedora's packaging rules.

4.0K	BUGS
3.7M	ChangeLog
36K	COPYING
20K	CREDITS
72K	gpl.pdf
80K	gpl.ps.gz
36K	gpl.txt
60K	NEWS
48K	README
20K	README.configure
8.0K	TODO

I believe the pdf and ps files could be moved into -docs and probably ChangeLog as well.

Roberto: Bzipped ChangeLog won't help much, since it can't be compressed further. Note that the live media already uses squashfs compression.

Comment 4 Roberto Bagnara 2009-03-29 17:05:20 UTC
Done in ppl-0.10-11.fc11.  Please let me know if this allows you to do what you wanted to do.
