Hi Petter, I thought it was even more (in my memory, gcompris and
openoffice took 200 MB each on snofrix CD). I consider that much of the
space is used for sounds (partly even spoken words in multiple
languages).
Maybe the maintainer could change dependencies to gcompris-data
to "recommended".
Some statistics (only base pck and data; no sounds):
$ du /usr/share/gcompris/ |sort -n |tail
1508 /usr/share/gcompris/boards/babyshapes/dog2
1772 /usr/share/gcompris/boards/leftright
1832 /usr/share/gcompris/boards/skins
2704 /usr/share/gcompris/boards/babyshapes
3128 /usr/share/gcompris/boards/paintings
4012 /usr/share/gcompris/boards/gcompris
6684 /usr/share/gcompris/boards/music/background
6912 /usr/share/gcompris/boards/music
31532 /usr/share/gcompris/boards
31956 /usr/share/gcompris/
apt-cache show gcompris-sound-en |grep Size
Installed-Size: 2816
Size: 2011172
apt-cache show gcompris-data |grep Size
Installed-Size: 35372
Size: 27045976
Seems like the data package already contains loads of graphics and
music - the only means of reduction I see here is
(a) try to use better/higher compression for images AND sound
(b) exclude some boards from the core package (modulization)
