I know I'm a little slow on this, and I hope I didn't miss a duplicate in the big thread, but here's mine: Better handling of documentation and languages which aren't installed initially. We often get requests to remove these things from the cloud image (see for example http://groveronline.com/2013/06/fedora-for-servers/, or look what oVirt node does). This would save a considerable amount of space -- in the cloud images, docs and man pages are 5% of the installed footprint and locale is 10%. That's a pretty big win for one thing. We have been reluctant to use the big RPM flag hammers to prevent these from being installed, though, because we want the core to be a minimal _building block_, and there's no graceful way to add those things back if they're initially not selected. So, handling this better would really help. One approach for docs might be to automatically separate %doc files into a -doc subpackage, and have a yum option which automatically installs those subpackages when the main package is installed. That's a bit ugly but wouldn't take a lot of changes. Or something like deltarpm could be used to add in missing doc and lang files if requested. But I'm not really wedded to any solution; just offering up a problem we need solved. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
