dCore Import Debian Packages to Mountable SCE extensions > dCore X86
slow boot, xorg-intel questions...
Jason W:
I'll add the echoing of "using the -z option" when it is used.
Yeah, aside from the locales and the LLVM file, it is definitely risky to delete files, but the tool is there for those who want to use it.

yes, i experienced something similiar and i agree!!!
i reduced 100mb in my packages just with the locales and the LLVM file.
hopefully we will find some other files, that can be deleted without negative consequences and make the packages even smaller, without losing stability :-)
thank you for sharing your experiences and ideas.

Slow boot issue resolved, thanks again.
15 year old 800mhz single core booting dCore-Jessie from grub to Dillo and emelfm opening using new sce.purge:
1min 55sec: default boot
1min 37sec: purging xorg-intel 65mb -> 29mb
1min 27sec: purging all other sceboot.lst items:
1.2mb -> 1.2mb graphics-3.16.6-tinycore
1.8mb -> 1.8mb alsa-modules-3.16.6-tinycore
468k -> 468k netfilter-3.16.6-tinycore
948k -> 948k Xprogs
8.2mb -> 5.1mb alsa-utils
4.9mb -> 1.9mb iptables
19mb -> 12 mb fluxbox
16mb -> 10mb conky
35mb -> 27mb dillo
4.8mb -> 1.9mb emelfm
Other:
4.8mb -> 1.7mb bsdgames-nonfree
96mb -> 80mb iceweasel
11mb -> 8mb mupdf
Obviously purging *-3.16.6-tinycore extensions provided no space savings, but nice to know running sce-update -a won't break anything.
Took a while to figure out sce.purge list, especially Xorg. All SCEs load, boot and initially test well. Thanks for making sce.purge configurable, as removing these marginally impacted boot time:
usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libLLVM*
usr/share/locale
usr/include
Primary culprits, minimal space savers but i suspect due to system having to create >500 links at boot !
usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/perl, <1mb, 40 files
usr/share/perl, 1.77 Mbytes, 421 Files
usr/share/perl5, 194.75 Kbytes, 115 Files
[edit]: Forgot to mention /usr/share/zoneinfo from xorg-intel contains 1796 files !
sce.purge file utilized:
--- Code: ---etc/alternatives
etc/apt
etc/cron.daily
etc/dpkg
etc/ld.so.conf.d
etc/logrotate.d
etc/rc*
lib/systemd
usr/bin/dpkg*
usr/bin/update-alternatives
usr/include
usr/lib/debug
usr/lib/gcc
usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libLLVM*
usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/audit
usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gbm
usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gconv
usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/perl
usr/lib/mime
usr/lib/pkgconfig
usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vesa*
usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics*
usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/vmmouse*
usr/lib/xorg/modules/multimedia
usr/sbin/dpkg*
usr/sbin/update-alternatives
### DO NOT REMOVE xorg.conf.d DIRECTORY EVEN IF DON"T USE IT, WITH xorg-intel LOCKS-UP SYSTEM:
#usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-vmmouse.conf
usr/share/X11/locale
### DO NOT REMOVE, CONTAINS DESKTOP FILES AND BREAKS THINGS:
#usr/share/applications
usr/share/bug
usr/share/doc
usr/share/doc-base
usr/share/dpkg
usr/share/gcc*
usr/share/gdb
usr/share/info
usr/share/locale
usr/share/man
usr/share/perl
usr/share/perl5
usr/share/pkgconfig
usr/share/zoneinfo
var/cache
var/lib
--- End code ---
Jason W:
Glad to hear it is working for you!
"Using the -z option." now added to sce-import when invoked.
nitram:
Above sce.purge list amended, this should NOT be purged:
--- Code: ---### DO NOT PURGE, BREAKS ATERM CUT/PASTE:
#usr/share/X11/locale
--- End code ---
Purge SCEs at own risk. The list above has only been tested on ~15 extensions and may require revision (which will not be posted here). If something breaks, modify purge list and re-import SCE. Although sce-import -z can be used to re-import a given extension without purging, the usual sce-update -a session may break something again if the purge list has not been appropriately modified, thanks.
