hi friends,
the new config file /etc/sysconfig/sce.purge offers an amazing feature.
it can reduce the size of packages in a phenomenal way, by avoiding unneeded files and directories that only bloat them.
for getting a stable working environment with more or less full functionality, experienced configurations are wanted and we should share our ideas, results and conclusions.
just my first entries in /etc/sysconfig/sce.purge and /etc/sysconfig/locale.nopurge
tc@box:/etc/sysconfig$ cat sce.purge
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libLLVM*
in addition to
tc@box:/etc/sysconfig$ cat locale.nopurge
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
resulted in packages that are more than 100mb smaller and i experienced no negative issues.
additionally would it be interesting to know the function of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libLLVM* in the os,
for what is it for and what functions do we lose without it?
what functionality is lost by purging llvm?
thank you for your contributions and your share of ideas and knowledge.
