How hard can it be? find languages/messages/ -name "Messages*.php" -and -not -name "MessagesEn.php" -delete Or use some fancy graphical ui to do the same. What comes to the tarball.. 8,0M mediawiki-1.16.0.7z 13M mediawiki-1.16.0.tar.gz This is very simple to implement with no big downsides (we can continue providing both formats). And here's the same with all message files stripped out: 2,0M mw-lite.7z 2,8M mw-lite.tar.gz It might look cool, and someone can provide those if he wants, but I think the default release tarball should contain all languages. -Niklas -- Niklas Laxström _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
