- Subject: Packaging of gettext message catalogs (.mo files)
Taking a look at my main Subversion binary package, I've noticed that the
gettext message catalogs account for almost half the size of the tarball -
and over half of the unpacked size.
Approx sizes (.mo files/other files)
Compressed 458kB / 467kB
Unpacked 2.0MB / 1.5MB
I'm wondering whether it would be worthwhile splitting the .mo files off
into a seperate package. This would, of course, be setting something of a
precedent, though, so I'm asking for opinions.
