Hi Jerome, I suggest to measure package sizes ONLY excluding the source directories: The binary packages usually still include lots of accessories and documentation, which are actually useful :-)
You could even do something evil such as making a copy of your repository, doing a clever one-liner to remove all sources from all zips, and record the sizes of the source-stripped binaries.
