One port is small by itself, but it semi-optionally requires 4.5GB of static data installed. It is possible to download this data optionally, conditional on the port option DATA_FILES which will be "off" by default, so that the users who need the data will install it with DATA_FILES=on. Alternatively, it is possible to create a flavor, something like @withData. Should the option be preferred, or should the flavor be preferred? Thanks, Yuri
