Hi there!
I unpacked our minimal release image and ran an xdiskusage on it,
mostly to see what we're shipping -- and I was surprised to see that a
fourth of the image is actually apt package caches and lists. Can we
put into the image generation script something to strip them out before
generating the image?
The untarring also suggests a number of places where we could further
trim the image, some of which are probably pretty hard to do:
* stripping /usr/share/doc out (but everybody knew that)
* dropping charmaps, zones and locale info that will never really be
used
* stripping out modules for devices that won't ever be on
this ARM device
* stripping out firmware for peripherals that won't ever be on this
ARM device
I've included the xdiskusage output so you can see what I mean. And good
job on the release!
