Curt,
We could retire the old .png textures where these have been replaced by
.dds. That would more or less restore the old package size. However, unless
the issue is really pressing I would recommend waiting a while until it's
all thoroughly bedded in.
I also see that new aircraft have been added to fgdata. Tim requested a
while back that new aircraft should be placed in their own repo. Doing this
should prevent the data from growing significantly. We could move existing
aircraft to their own repos bit by bit which will significantly reduce the
size of fgdata.

Subject: [Flightgear-devel] substantial base package size increase
I just noticed when I pushed out the latest developer snapshot build that
our setup.exe size has grown from about 410 Mb to 500+ Mb. I think (?) this
may be the new dds textures? I'm not making a judgement, or calling for a
particular action here, but it might be worth thinking/discussing if there
is a way to push the size back down, or are we ok with 500Mb+ (1/2 a Gb) on
our setup.exe size?
Thanks,
Curt.
