[Kstars-devel] Re: [kde-edu-devel] size of kdeedu

[Jason Harris]

Hello,

Just to get the ball rolling, current size of subdirs (in MB):

debian:  0.6 
doc: 6.4
flashkard: 0.3
kalzium: 1.4
kbruch: 0.2
keduca: 0.7
khangman: 3.3
kig: 2.1
kiten: 5.9
klettres: 5.8
kmathtool: 0.6
kmessedwords: 1.1
kmplot 0.5
kpercentage: 0.5
kstars: 18.7
ktouch: 16.1
kverbos: 0.7
kvoctrain: 2.9
libkdeedu: 0.3

total: 68.1 

KStars and KTouch are half the module, so clearly our best shot at 
reducing kdeedu is to reduce these two apps.  Since 3.1, the most 
significant increase to kstars was increasing the number of stars from 
40,000 to 126,000.  I could revert this and shed 5.4 MB (making the 
remainder an optional download...perhaps integrated in the UI).  If I 
do the same with object images, I'll lose another 3.3 MB.  That still 
leaves KStars at 10 MB.  After this, cuts will be more difficult.
