It would be a shame to lose gnome-games, every computer needs easy access to solitaire.Hi all,
Here's a heads up that we need to get rid of about 300M of packages to make sure that FC4 continues to fit on 4 CD's. Right now eclipse, xfce, xemacs, cfengine, and all the games are leading candidates. We also may try to start removing stuff from Core in hopes that it will appear in Extras if someone cares about it.
Nothing is set in stone, but if you want to write in favor of keeping something, you'll have to suggest something else of equal or greater size to axe instead.
You can view the list of new packages since FC3 (sorted by package size) at http://people.redhat.com/sopwith/new-packages.txt
FYI, -- Elliot
How about dropping some of the random documentation rpms we keep around, they don't follow a pattern anyway (ie we have exim-doc but no postfix-doc, we have python-doc but no php-doc or perl-doc)
exim-doc 3.2m python-docs 2.4m python-twisted-docs 6.4m postgresql-docs 4.6m (there are a couple more)
Or even better drop tetex-doc 51M (im pretty sure the php manual package got dropped long before it got that big)
