I stopped investigating the perl thing too closely once we dropped below 670M, but my recollection was that we were within one or two packages of being rid of it. The F12 live ISOs are currently 654M for i386 and 656M for amd64, which is pretty impressive considering where we were during the rawhide cycle. There's only really one awkward perl dep chain left: anaconda's mk-images.x86 calls syslinux' isohybrid, which is a perl script. mk-images used to be in a separate scripts subpackage, but that got re-merged during F12 by Jeremy shortly before he left; I don't know why. The scripts that compose the anaconda runtime images and the anaconda runtime itself are logically separate, and I don't think there's any real objection to splitting them back off, so I'll look at getting that done for F13. I think we should do both things though. We should keep refining the packaging to fit as much good stuff in as little space as possible, but we should be targeting a larger image than 700M. > * Elevate the livecd inside Fedora to be more of a primary product; if > someone uploads a package which takes significantly more space, we ask > them to revert or fix What's the state of our tools for monitoring this?
