Because the metadata will take more space than the actual application.

IMHO, wifi-menu has always been a strange tool because it requires root privileges to operate. But if I login as root, I might as well use wpa_cli, iw or write a profile directly. It would be nice if we could use polkit for non-root users... Cheers, -- Leonid Isaev GPG key fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
