*sigh* It was me who added the optipng thing. In fact my primary thought was not about saving space - that's only some kB for each package, if at all. When I added this we had early libpng releases with had problems with ancient broken png files that are still around in some packages. Using optipng was an easy way to fix this. Space saving was just an extra. ;) So if you think this is a burden to maintain just remove it... I am pretty sure I can live without. (Anyway... Did not see bad impact of broken png files in a long time now.) -- Best regards, Chris
