Our last stable release ISOs:

  • grml64-full_2021.07.iso: 787MB
  • grml64-small_2021.07.iso: 404MB

Current daily ISOs (as of 2022-08-31):

  • grml64-full_sid: 879MB
  • grml64-small testing: 470MB

We should look into the actual reasons, why the ISOs grew over time and if there's anything we can do about it.

We noticed, that facter, hiera + puppet and their dependencies require ~32MB of disk space on grml-full, I suppose that's worth keeping it? 🤔 Opinions?

I'd suggest to also drop mcollective, which requires just 1,084 kB disk space, but I think it doesn't provide any real usage on Grml live system?

SW: drop mercurial from GRML_FULL
37addd3 
It requires 16MB of disk space, and Grml doesn't use mercurial
since a long time, so let's gain some disk space...

SW: drop subversion from GRML_FULL

It requires 10.6MB of disk space, and we (as in Grml) don't rely on
it since a long time, so let's gain some disk space...

SW: drop tshark + wireshark from GRML_FULL
da5e5ca 
libwireshark15 has >100MB Installed-Size, and wireshark plus all its
dependencies currently require 164MB of disk space on grml-full. This
seems to be too much for one specific, non-essential tool, and given we
still ship tcpdump, it makes more sense to reduce ISO size.

tshark depends on wireshark-common, so we need to also drop it.

I think puppet & related packages could all go.

facter, hiera + puppet and their dependencies require ~32MB of disk
space, and mcollective plus its dependencies require 1,084 kB of disk
space. We try to reduce the ISO size and it feels like puppet doesn't
necessarily need to be present by default.

With the recent changes, we managed to get back from 876 MB to 831MB (grml64-full_testing, builds 4020 vs 4021).

JFTR: acpid (and its dependencies) are not needed to do a ACPI Shutdown (at least via Virtualbox).
