if I recall, MapGuide is 4x larger than the nearest second size, and
10x larger than most ordinary packages
Put another way, it is by far the largest package, and takes up the
space of at least 5 big packages, by itself
There is nothing else even close to its size - it is disproportionally
larger than anything else

Hi Johan,
I believe the current (trunk) versions of the third party
dependencies for FDO and MapGuide are gcc 4.4 compatible. That was
the key blocker from last year. As far as I know, no one has done an
end to end build of FDO and MapGuide on Ubuntu 11 / gcc 4.4. It
would also be good to use Ubuntu distro libraries instead of our
"third party" copies where applicable. The FDO cmake process makes
this possible. It hasn't been done for MapGuide yet.
On top of all this, building and configuring with the Ubuntu distro
versions of Apache and PHP would save some space. For the purposes
of a demo DVD, we could drop Tomcat and save a few more megs.
Regards,
Trevor

I remember this discussion from one year ago [0]. Have you made any
progress up to now, or what is blocking progress?

Perhaps a "Desktop" DVD and a "Server" DVD. 4.77GB for 40+
projects is quite small.

Mapguide would be a lot smaller if it would use shared dynamic
libraries. The same is true for most java gis programs/libraries on
the dvd (have we started implementing the fslint hard linking?). There
is still a lot of space to gain. I don't think we will ever have to
split the dvd if we package things properly, (once one dvd is too
small almost nobody will be using dvd's anymore).
But anyway, since mapguide is an osgeo project I think it should get
priority over other applications if we get into space troubles.
