Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback. I guess we'd then
host our own repository which holds all these rebuilt rpms. And
create a custom platform config.
At the moment, are the rpms using default .spec files from Fedora or
are customized .spec files used to reduce bloat and only install
parts of the package that are absolutely required ?
actually it's a mix of things we created our selves, packages we
borrow from
Fedora and packages we borrow from OpenSUSE. The trend certainly is that
more and more is going to be our packaging.
How do you currently manage the files that are installed by the rpm ?
I've been wondering the same for the OLPC project too as they're mostly
based of Fedora with only a few custom packages. In a previous life I
made an embedded OS from RedHat 7.2 by basically editing all the rpm
spec files that we where going to use and only including the files we
wanted in the %files section, we broke out the remaining files into a
separate <package>-buildhost rpm. Worked well, but it was a lengthy
process.
we found early on that just getting dependencies sane gave us a bunch of space,
but that going for the last 10Kb for each package was an incredible amount of
work,
work we were not prepared to invest for that little amount of gain, and that it
also
has a relatively large usability pain ("what do you mean, no man pages")
Whats your storage requirement?
