Slightly off topic, but I have been login some recommendations to
divide the size of this package by at least a factor of 2.

Reference (will be updated whenever tracking system process my mail) :

It surely is a bug for those who care about CDs. But Zack's point is:
should it be RC, normal, minor, or wontfix ?

Would it be possible to generate a list of excluded packages and add that

Well, you see, my current computer (Lenovo x200s) does not have an
optical drive at all. I had to install Debian using an usb stick. It
does have a fast enough CPU and graphics card to play nexuiz though,
mind you.

My point is that the fact that our packages are showing the age of the
media we still want to support should not be a bug.

For now, I've added a cutoff of 300,000,000 bytes as a maximum package
size for adding to CDs. That means that the following 3 packages will
be dropped from the squeeze CD builds:

 306308472 pool/main/o/openarena-data/openarena-data_0.8.1-2_all.deb
 53450 pool/main/v/vtk/vtk-doc_5.2.1-11_all.deb
 793400238 pool/main/n/nexuiz-data/nexuiz-data_2.5.2-1_all.deb

The debian-cd code will automatically pick up on dependencies too, so
any packages that *depend* on these will also be dropped.

For DVD and BD disks we'll accept any size (for now).

This should also be added to the release notes, please.

Even though they do technically still fit on a CD, you may want to consider 
excluding the following packages as well, as including them essentially 
means having roughly 4 CD images dedicated to 9 packages.

This is silly. I haven't seen bug reports about packages not fitting in
diskettes, and it would not make any sense if they were filed! =).

The world moved on, CDs are getting too small. It's a technical
limitation which can be overcome by using the network, or bigger media,
such as DVDs. While I think blacklisting the package for CDs is a
pragmatical decision, making the package smaller should be just
desirable, not a (specially RC!) bug.

I thought this was why we had dpkg-split, so not exactly the same
problem.

Or supporting dpkg-split for this case too?  But probably not worth the
effort for just a handful of packages that arguably would benefit from
being broken into more manageable-sized packages anyway.

Ack. People which use computers which did not came with a DVD reader built in
are probably not able to play nexuiz anyway as it needs a pretty fastCPU and
graphics card to be fun :)

Dear maintainer,
  the Debian CD team (in the person of Steve McIntyre) has noted the
enormous size of nexuiz-data, which means the package won't fit on a
single CD. I'm setting severity serious because this de facto means the
package cannot be distributed to our CD users. I agree that the severity
can be controversial since we have other ways of distributing packages;
feel free to downgrade, better if after discussion with the release team
(even better by reducing the size ;-))

Does Debian realy continue to offer CD's in the future?
I have already problems to get one...  :-/
Where ever you go, you can find DVD.

Note:   The OpenSource Game I am working on  with  a  group
will be never distributed on a CD because there are
already over 10 files bigger then a  800 MByte  CD.
Maybe on 50 GByte BlueRay medias.  :-D

And you didn't see Urban Terror and its 700+ MB yet! Speaking of
which, what's the status of data.debian.org? IIRC, it's been in the

If you ever want this to be available on Debian CDs, you're going to
have to do something about the size. For now, I'm going to blacklist
this package altogether.
