Re: [trinity-users] Let's end this kind of review (Trinity Light)

It should not be difficult to create a new "TDE-light" metapackage. Trouble is identifying the existing "metapackages" responsible for the bloat, which has always been a downside of KDE. I spent quite a bit of time on that, the aim was functionality without bloat. Previous discussion on this subject (mailing list archive): "minimal trinity installation (14 Nov 2011 12:19:22)" http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/?0:201111 Not much interest at that time. This is my current package list for a "TDE Light" but quite functional (as opposed to minimal, which just kdebase will do). It will give a Squeeze installation of little over 2GB. It is what I used for the Exe GNU/Linux +TDE live-cd, which squashed to under 700MB. I stripped out all the unnecessary metas I could find and started looking at unnecessary deps and recommends of some packages (e.g. kaffeine, soundkonverter) Remove any you don't want, but watch out that what you add is not another monster meta. (and check what the "recommends" are) ########################### kdebase-trinity amarok-trinity ark-trinity gwenview-trinity gtk-qt-engine-trinity k3b-trinity k3b-data-trinity kaddressbook-trinity kcalc-trinity karm-trinity kate-plugins-trinity kcoloredit-trinity kcron-trinity kde-core-trinity kde-i18n-engb-trinity kde-i18n-es-trinity kde-style-qtcurve-trinity kdeaddons-kfile-plugins-trinity kdeartwork-trinity kdeartwork-emoticons-trinity kdeartwork-misc-trinity kdeartwork-style-trinity kdeartwork-theme-icon-trinity kdeartwork-theme-window-trinity kdebase-kio-plugins-trinity kdeeject-trinity kdegraphics-kfile-plugins-trinity kdelibs-trinity kdelibs-data-trinity kdemultimedia-kfile-plugins-trinity kdf-trinity kdiff3-trinity kdirstat-trinity kdm-trinity libkcddb1-trinity libtqt3-integration-trinity kregexpeditor-trinity kget-trinity kghostview-trinity kicker-applets-trinity kio-locate-trinity kipi-plugins-trinity kmix-trinity knemo-trinity knotes-trinity konq-plugins-trinity konqueror-trinity konversation-trinity kpdf-trinity kpowersave-trinity kscreensaver-trinity kscreensaver-xsavers-trinity ksensors-trinity ksnapshot-trinity ksplash-engine-moodin-trinity ksvg-trinity ktorrent-trinity kuser-trinity kwin-style-crystal-trinity --no-install-recommends kaffeine-trinity --no-install-recommends soundkonverter-trinity
