Bug ID: 401238
Summary: Significant fluctuations in Win64 install size
Product: kdevelop
Version: 5.3.0
Platform: Other
OS: MS Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdevelop-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: daniel_st...@web.de
Target Milestone: ---

Folder statistics
The program size of KDevelop on Windows x64 has changed significantly during
the 5.2.x release series, and the issue persists with version 5.3.0.
Version | 5.2.0 | 5.2.4 | 5.3.0
--------------------------------------
Installer (MB) | 111 | 143 | 143
Installed (MB) | 415 | 707 | 709
The changes from 5.2.0 to 5.2.4 appear to have introduced the size difference
(even though 5.2.4 is supposedly just a bugfix release for 5.2.0).
Nevertheless, the issue persists with 5.3.0 (whose size is almost identical to
5.2.4), so I have listed the bug for 5.3.0.
HOW TO REPRODUCE:
1) Download the Win64 installers from
https://download.kde.org/stable/kdevelop/5.2.0/bin/windows/kdevelop-5.2.0-x64-setup.exe
(replace 5.2.0 by 5.2.4 or 5.3.0 for the other versions)
2) Verify the different sizes of the installers.
3) Run the installers and check "Space required" on the 2nd or 3rd window.
(Note that these values are estimates and differ slightly from the actual sizes
which I gave above.)
4) To observe the actual sizes of the installed programs (this takes a few
minutes): start by installing one of the three versions, make a copy of
C:\Program Files\KDevelop, uninstall KDevelop, install the next version, and so
forth.
