Description Thierry Vignaud 2012-04-20 14:47:46 CEST 
Please apply the following patch.
It moves some files from perl to perl-base in order to debloat minimal install.
It shrinks the minimal install (without suggests) by 7% (280 -> 260Mo).
(when running "urpmi --urpmi-root=$PWD/T/ basesystem --no-suggests --debug -vv")

Perl & lib(64)gdbm4 are no more installed in that case.

We forgot to maintain this for a couple years.

Comment 3 Thierry Vignaud 2012-04-20 15:09:44 CEST 
We're now saving 10.35% (280->251Mo with the same test case).
With the real installer, the percentage will be less since it'll add a couple HW related packages.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja
