Hi, I coined the term "pocket infrastructures" for the ones which are self-contained, simple and can run from USB drives to humble laptops and anything in between and beyond. Now my combination includes:
- Pandoc: ~ 15 Mb, For markup processing and conversion. - Fossil; ~ 3 Mb, kind of a "GitHub in a box" and totally distributed, providing DVCS, tickets (issues), wiki and embedded web server. - Sqlite: ~1 Mb, for data manipulation and spreadsheet related task. - Grafoscopio / Pharo: 164 Mb Development environment including live coding, source code manager, data visualization & interactive notebooks/outlines. So, is nice to have such set of well diverse but coupled tasks covered under 200 Mb, compared with the alternatives these days. Even, complex data intensive research, like the Panama Papers, can be approached by these "pocket infrastructures" as shown in [1].
