hi milan, btw, if you didn't notice yet, the bundle package is already up: o http://sourceforge.net/projects/rkwardextras/files/MacOSX/ and i submitted the portfile to the MacPorts trac system, too. i'll add the sources (1,2 GB) and some parts of the windows README to sf.net next.

I didn't know R+Qt+KDE > libs were so heavy... they aren't, at least not so much. it's partly the rest that gets drawn in (e.g., the bundle currently includes a full gcc). there's much more in it than is absolutely neccessary, which obviously leaves room for optimization here. the bundle is made with the MacPorts tools, which work really great, i'm happy to say! a port can specify other ports as dependencies, so if you install the rkward-devel port, you'll get R and KDE ports installed as well, and they in turn have some dependencies -- so much for a local installation. to make a bundle, you first make this local installation, and then use the port command to create an installable image from it. this will automatically include the full dependency tree mentioned above, to guarantee that the bundle will work. what makes it so huge is that to have KDE in the bundle, rkward-devel depends on kde4-baseapps -- that's one single port, so it's not trivial to strip off parts you don't need. my guess is, we should either look at the bundle image (it can be mounted and examined) and remove parts we don't really need after it was built, or write our own kde4-baseapps-slim port and see if we can build a much smaller KDE for our purpose in the first place. both approaches would take some further amount of trial & error. for instance, i'm not sure how the installer behaves if we just remove some parts of the package; that should be rather simple though, as each component in the bundle is just a tar archive or something. do you by any chance have a mac and can do some testing? if you have some ideas, just shoot ;-) viele grüße :: m.eik -- dipl. psych. meik michalke institut f"ur experimentelle psychologie abt. f"ur diagnostik und differentielle psychologie heinrich-heine-universit"at d-40204 d"usseldorf
