Package: inkscape Version: 0.44.1-1 Severity: normal
Hi, The inkscape and inkview binaries are some of the largest on my machine: $ ls -l /usr/bin | sort -rn -k 5 | head -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8689772 2006-08-28 22:33 hugin -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7599308 2006-03-18 20:00 AbiWord-2.4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7175116 2006-08-28 22:33 nona_gui -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7138380 2006-08-28 22:33 nona -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6182732 2006-01-16 15:56 mplayer -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5026708 2006-09-25 13:28 inkscape -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5017492 2006-09-25 13:28 inkview -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4016828 2006-05-04 09:11 Xprt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3372768 2006-03-29 13:46 gs-gpl -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3085008 2006-01-30 21:09 gimp-2.2 I'm particularly sensitive to disk space as I'm running from a 4GB flash drive. I suspect that the inkscape and inkview binaries are > 90% identical. Would it be possible to eliminate one of them, and thereby save nearly 5MB? Possible methods: - Two links to the same executable which checks argv[0]. - An executable for inkscape and a script for inkview which calls inkscape with a view-only flag. - Two small executables and a shared library. I appreciate that not everyone shares my desire to optimise disk space and will understand if you choose to ignore this report. Thanks, Phil. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.19 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages inkscape depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.3-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.14.0-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.1-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.4.1-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-5 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgc1c2 1:6.7-2 conservative garbage collector for ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-14 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.14.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libglibmm-2.4-1c2a 2.8.2-2.1 C++ wrapper for the GLib toolkit ( ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.14.0-1 GNOME virtual file-system (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.13-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a 1:2.6.5-1 C++ wrappers for GTK+ 2.4 (shared ii liblcms1 1.13-1 Color management library ii libloudmouth1-0 1.1.4-2 Lightweight C Jabber library ii liborbit2 1:2.14.0-1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.14.8-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-1 PNG library - runtime ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.0.16-3 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-14 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System protocol client li ii libxcursor1 1.1.3-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.1-4 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxft2 2.1.8.2-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-6 X Window System Input extension li ii libxinerama1 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System multi-head display ii libxml2 2.6.27.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Resize, Rotate and ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxslt1.1 1.1.18-1 XSLT processing library - runtime ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages inkscape recommends: ii imagemagick 7:6.2.4.5.dfsg1-0.13 Image manipulation programs pn libwmf-bin <none> (no description available) pn perlmagick <none> (no description available) pn pstoedit <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
