Instead of tossing out opinions, let's look at some numbers.
I have Debian 2.2 on a server and Familiar 6.2 on a handheld. Since
we're talking about using either dpkg or ipkg on a jffs2 filesystem,
all space consumption is given as so:
packages size bytes/package
ipkg total 378K
available 939 317K 388
installed 147 61K 415
dpkg total 10620K
available 15272 8660K 567
installed 301 1860K 6180
Here's how I got these numbers:
ipkg total is:
tar cfz - /usr/lib/ipkg | wc -c
ipkg available is:
tar cfz - /usr/lib/ipkg/lists | wc -c
ipkg packages installed is:
ipkg status | grep ^Package: | wc -l
ipkg available packages is:
ipkg list | wc -l
dpkg total is:
tar cfz - /var/lib/dpkg | wc -c
dpkg available is:
tar cfz - /var/lib/dpkg/available* | wc -c
dpkg packages installed is:
grep '^Status: install ok installed' /var/lib/dpkg/status | wc -l
dpkg available packages is:
grep '^Status:' /var/lib/dpkg/status | wc -l
