Grml ISOs growing in size #118

Open mika opened 2 years ago

mika commented 2 years ago

Our last stable release ISOs:

grml64-full_2021.07.iso: 787MB
grml64-small_2021.07.iso: 404MB

Current daily ISOs (as of 2022-08-31):

grml64-full_sid: 879MB
grml64-small testing: 470MB

We should look into the actual reasons, why the ISOs grew over time and if there's anything we can do about it.

We noticed, that facter, hiera + puppet and their dependencies require ~32MB of disk space on grml-full, I suppose that's worth keeping it? :thinking: Opinions?

mika commented 2 years ago

I'd suggest to also drop mcollective, which requires just 1,084 kB disk space, but I think it doesn't provide any real usage on Grml live system?

zeha commented 2 years ago

I think puppet & related packages could all go.

@zeha thanks for fast feedback, then let's do this! :)

mika commented 2 years ago

With the recent changes, we managed to get back from 876 MB to 831MB (grml64-full_testing, builds 4020 vs 4021).

JFTR: acpid (and its dependencies) are not needed to do a ACPI Shutdown (at least via Virtualbox).
