I think those 2 should be done before anything else, because they would probably be heavy and are easy to "extract". I'm willing to help, but have no idea for now about the location of those files.Its huge! over 60 Mb for each platform! We have already put 130Mb plus source into the archive! I suggest 3 splits openoffice.org openoffice.org-doc openoffice.org-common openoffice.org-gallery openoffice.org is the main package that contains the platform dependant files it depends on OOo-common and recommends OOo-doc and OOo-gallery OOo-doc is the docs ;-) this is basically the help files split out.OOo-gallery is the clipart and backgrounds but not the applications
OOo-common is the rest! All platform independent
Far less easy to split.
The problem I see is that we would still have to download the full source package to do that! Isn't a way to split that also? I think this is an upstream issue. Are we close enough to ask them to make it?Other options could be OOo-printers containing all the printer drivers and OOo-templates with all the templates, OOo-java containing the java files. What does everybody think? I dont think that we want to split it up to much but getting some of the bulkier items into separate downloads that are both common across all platforms and dont need to be downloaded every update could help I think. Then we could do OOo_1.0-5 depends on OOo-common >= 1.00-3. If we can agree what is needed then I will look into it further.
