I propose to add the following at the end of %build in evolution.spec:

# strip unneeded translations from .mo files
cd po
grep -v ".*[.]desktop[.]in[.]in$\|.*[.]server[.]in[.]in$\|.*[.]schemas[.]in$" POTFILES.in > POTFILES.keep
mv POTFILES.keep POTFILES.in
intltool-update --pot
for p in *.po; do
  msgmerge $p evolution-2.24.pot > $p.out
  msgfmt -o `basename $p .po`.gmo $p.out
done


What this does is to remove the translations that intltool has already merged in the desktop files, server files and gconf schemas from the .mo files, since they are not needed there.

This brings the size of the evolution rpm from 41M down to 37M. It should also have some runtime benefit, since it shrinks the .mo files that get mmapped. 


We can use this same trick on other rpms that install big schemas or lots of desktop files.
