package: src:debian-edu-artwork version: 0.49-1 severity: wishlist Hi, the debian-edu-artwork source and the debian-edu-artwork-spacefun binary packages are huge, mostly because it contains several png versions of the same wallpapers in differet sizes. (For comparison: spacefun 45m binary packages, joy 7mb and lines 3mb). The first column is the size in bytes, these are megabytes: 1242655 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/wallpapers/Debian-Edu-Spacefun/contents/images/1920x1080.png 3267127 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/wallpapers/Debian-Edu-Spacefun/contents/images/1600x1200.png 1386434 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/wallpapers/Debian-Edu-Spacefun/contents/images/1920x1200.png 1082815 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/debian-edu-spacefun-gdm.png 2956586 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/ldm/themes/debian-edu-spacefun/bg.png 1242655 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/kde4/apps/ksplash/Themes/Debian-Edu-Spacefun/1920x1080/background.png 3267127 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/kde4/apps/ksplash/Themes/Debian-Edu-Spacefun/1600x1200/background.png 1386434 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/kde4/apps/ksplash/Themes/Debian-Edu-Spacefun/1920x1200/background.png 3267127 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/debian-edu-spacefun/background.png 1386434 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-spacefun-wallpaper01_1920x1200.png 3996662 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-spacefun-wallpaper02_1920x1080.svg 5430731 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-spacefun-wallpaper01_1280x1024.svg 5032441 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-spacefun-wallpaper01_1600x1200.svg 4080156 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-spacefun-wallpaper02_1280x1024.svg 3683060 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-spacefun-wallpaper02_1600x1200.svg 6947735 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-spacefun-wallpaper01_1920x1080.svg 4073056 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-spacefun-wallpaper02_1920x1200.svg 3267127 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-spacefun-wallpaper01_1600x1200.png 1242655 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-spacefun-wallpaper01_1920x1080.png 7279766 2014-10-13 20:54 ./usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-spacefun-wallpaper01_1920x1200.svg ========== 65mb out of the 73mb the uncompressed spacefun package is in size... So my idea is to either drop the spacefun artwork completly, or put it into it's own git repo and source package and keep it. And do the same with joy and lines actually too. Or have two repos: debian-edu-artwork and debian-edu-artwork-historic. (I'm serious here.) And then I just see we can still drop 5.5mb from the source package by dropping debian-edu-spacefun-wallpaper01_XxY.png and generate this from the also existing .svg file - I will file a seperate bug about this. This we should fix for jessie. As this is just an issue for developers and a tiny annoyance for mirror operators etc I think we should probably leave this for jessie as it is, and do this for after the jessie release. What do you think? cheers, Holger
