Re: surprised on space requirement
by me (again) on Friday 02/Jun/2006, @11:01

I found rpms for 3.5.2 from ftp.kde.org.

ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.5.2/SuSE/ix86/10.0
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.5.3/SuSE/SUSE_Linux_10.0/i586

From a quick glance, each 3.5.3 package is at least twice
than its 3.5.2 counterpart. Examples:
arts-1.5.2-2 = 1MB --- vs --- arts-1.5.3-2.6 = 3.2MB
kdebase3-3.5.2-2 = 24.7MB --- vs --- kdebase3-3.5.3-3.5 = 52.2MB
kdepim3-3.5.2-2 = 12.9MB --- vs --- kdepim3-3.5.3-8.1 = 60.9 MB

I wouldn't expect a minor release to double space usage. Is
this merely a compilation problem, or indeed from KDE itself?

I attach two screenshots, one for suse rpms and the other for
Kubuntu drapper. I understand that comparing across distribution
is not the most appropriate way, but I hope this give some
indication.

First revisions were built with debug information and not stripped. Later not anymore, reload.
