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.

Cheers, Eric
