Yes, put it on the DVD - we can statically link fluxus against just what it needs from racket and remove the dependancy, but it's a counter debian philosophy do this. cheers, dave -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of puredyne team, which is the registrant for Puredyne Live. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/815574 Title: Fluxus requires racket-common, which is a very large install Status in Fluxus - a graphical livecoding environment for scheme.: New Status in Puredyne liveCD/DVD/USB/HD: New Bug description: I'm trying to work out how to get the puredyne CD down to CD size, and I noticed that "racket-common" has by far the biggest installed size out of all packages included. (Almost twice as big as linux-image-*!) Fluxus depends on "racket" which depends on "racket-common". According to the racket description, it "includes the DrRacket programming environment, a virtual machine with a just-in-time compiler, tools for creating stand-alone executables, the PLT Scheme web server, extensive libraries, documentation for both beginners and experts, and more. " I don't have any idea which of these components are needed by fluxus! I imagine it might be possible to have a trimmed-down version (e.g. in the puredyne PPA there could be "racket-tiny" and fluxus could depend on "racket | racket-tiny"). But in the short term, unless anyone with fluxus or racket expertise is willing to take this on (not a trivial job), I suspect we'll have to make fluxus a DVD-only inclusion...?
