Installation too big - decrease size / limit size

[jaymacdonald]

In order to retain usability, we need to keep the size of the installation relativly low. I think we should set a limit on the size of the releases.

N.B. The Zend framework is using an awful lot of disk space, and isn't the most required backend.

I can totally agree with this. It is way too high.

After running disk usage analizer on trunk, I've found that the source of the problem is /not/ dojo or zend. It is the themes directory. This is mostly due to the icons.

In [1981] I removed the OSX and green themes, and in [1982] I removed some other stuff. With those two changes, I cut the size down to 40.4MB (originally the size was around 60MB).

The only thing possible that can be done to use less space is to remove tsunami, and offer it as an additional theme. the other thing would be to remove the /dojotoolkit/util/ dir when releasing. Doing both of these would save a total of 11.4MB

actually, the /dojotoolkit/util/ directory is removed by the build system anyway, so it would only save around 8MB.

[jaymacdonald]

sounds good. i think offering tsunami externally would be good. plus, it would be good as a starter package for developers to anaylse, if you get what I mean.

[jaymacdonald]

you should have kept the green theme, though. or disturbed it as a package. it was a good theme :(

It'll be distributed as a package on the repository for the new site.

I'm closing this ticket now, everything that we could do has been done.
