Here a list of packages and their sizes on 19.01 core currently: list_packages_core_1901.txt

From that list one can see libicu60 we can get rid off. Nodejs is apparently installing it as dependency. However something might recommend nodejs I am not sure currently which package though. So it removes nodejs and some other packages. All of them not necessary for Core imho image Same goes for freepats

apt rdeps nodejs should help here

llelectronics commented 5 years ago

You mean apt rdepends nodejs. Yeah not really it gives a long long list. Anyway I added some of the packages to the be removed by live-build. See: https://github.com/netrunner-core/live-build/commit/1bebdd3aa664588c3a4db073c77ff02b05cca822

zgrimshell commented 5 years ago

yes, nodejs does have a long list but that is how you do the check (you could run one file against other to check what they have in common)

zgrimshell commented 5 years ago

checked the list, good that nodejs is going out from default :)

I think you need to get a list of compressed package sizes. Given the squashfs of the ISO is hopefully compressed (@shadeslayer is it?) the uncompressed size of packages means nothing. Case in point: libgl1-mesa-dri compressed should be like 6mib

shadeslayer commented 5 years ago

It's compressed.

Removing some of the packages like stated before resulted in a slight improvement: -rw-r--r-- 1 leszek leszek 1739718656 Jan 16 18:07 netrunner-core-20190116.1638-amd64.hybrid.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 leszek leszek 1677721600 Jan 17 14:12 netrunner-core-20190117.1201-amd64.hybrid.iso
