dev note: there is no need for the content in /usr/share to be duplicated per language. The build process already copies the source language content and then copies the translation language content over the top. This is just a flat out bug.

I was thinking this was in /usr/share/publican but it's in /usr/share/doc/publican. /usr/share/doc/publican contains static HTML. You have no guarantee at this point that any other language, or any other output format, is installed, so you have to assume you need all the content for each format in each language. You will note that /usr/share/publican/CommonContent does not have this duplication, because that is source and the logic in #1 is used during the build phase. This would be a very intrusive change to make on the normal output and would probably make more sense to do as a specific output format for this use case. No, no, you were right. /usr/share/publican contains most of the problematic duplication, the duplication in /usr/share/doc/ is expected, the documentation must be stand-alone.
dpkg -L publican | sed -ne 's|/usr/share/publican/Common_Content/.*/||p' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr|head

ah then it's a bug in the brand publishing code. Not so hard to fix. HSS-QE has reviewed and declined this request. QE for this bug will be handled by IED. Stopped brand install from duplicating css, images, & scripts sources. To ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/publican.git b85fec3..4bd6cc7 HEAD -> devel $ rpm -qi publican | grep Size Size : 3093902 Publican now seems to be vastly reduced in size. Verified in publican-3.1.5-0.fc17.t62.noarch. The fix for this bug has been shipped in publican 3.2.0 |
