[Oberon] Aos/A2 system size

[Stauber Sven Philipp]

Dear all,

 

Please let me comment on this:

It is not much bigger. This is more a packaging issue. The CD image
contains many things that are not required to run an A2 system.
Actually, you just need about a dozen modules to run an A2 system (see
http://www.ocp.inf.ethz.ch/wiki/Documentation/Kernel). To give an
impression:

 

Packages included in A2 CD-Image:

 

   System 213 Files ( 200 source code files)

   ApplicationsMini 121 Files (  90 source code files)

   Applications 179 Files ( 140 source code files)

   GuiApplicationsMini 123 Files (  94 source code files)

   GuiApplications 201 Files ( 150 source code files)

   Education  13 Files (  13 source code files)

   Build  16 Files (   7 source code files)

   Contributions 153 Files ( 126 source code files)

 

   Oberon 152 Files ( 118 source code files)

   OberonGadgets 204 Files ( 151 source code files)

   OberonApplications 271 Files ( 144 source code files)

   OberonDocumentation  60 Files (  25 source code files)

   OberonVoyager 111 Files ( 111 source code files)

   OberonAnts 127 Files ( 127 source code files)

 

   TrueTypeFonts  12 Files (   0 source code files)

   ScreenFonts  40 Files (   0 source code files)

   Pr3Fonts  36 Files (   0 source code files)

   Pr6Fonts  30 Files (   0 source code files)

 

All packages whose name starts with "Oberon" are Oberon-only packages. A
lot of space is required for supporting CJK characters (approx. 10MB in
data files), another bunch for demo data as videos, pictures (approx. 10
MB). 

 

It seems that it would be a good idea to provide a "small" A2 release so
that people don't get confused about the 75MB size of the CD-Image. I
will report back here when such a small A2 release is available online.

 

Best,

Sven Stauber
