Doing a "du -sh ./share/*" should
give you a good overview of which directories contain the most stuff and
help you target which packages you may consider removing.
Here's a script I call "pigs" that I use for the purpose:
---------- 8< ------------ cut here ------------ 8< ---------------
#/bin/sh
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
dir=.
else
if [ ! -d $1 ]
then
echo usage: $0 [directory] [options]
echo
echo " Prints kb in use in directory; if directory isn't"
echo " given, '.' is assumed."
echo
echo " If you give options, they are passed to du, in addition"
echo " to the -sk options the script provides."
echo
exit
fi
dir=$1
fi
echo -n Hang on, finding pigs in
if [ $dir = . ]
then
echo " current directory..."
else
echo " \"$dir\"..."
fi
du -sk $2 $dir/* | sort -rn | head -10
---------- 8< ------------ cut here ------------ 8< ---------------
This script helps me find the 10 biggest pigs on any system with a basic
POSIX user environment.
For what it's worth, the top pig in Cygwin on the box I'm using right
now is TeX. Unfortunately, while you may not use it directly, it's an
indirect dependency for a lot of software. You might be able to remove
it anyway if you aren't using the software features that require it.
