While looking at how much less space bzip2'ed packages take over gzip'ed
ones, I was hit by just how *LARGE* the Gimp user manual is.
15M GimpUserManual-HTML-1.0.0.tgz
12M GimpUserManual-PDF-1.0.0.tgz
43M GimpUserManual-PS-1.0.0.tgz
70M total
70meg is 11% of the space of the CDROM it is on.
I don't think we are getting enough bang for our buck WRT to GimpUserManual.
I would like to propose that we add "NO_CDROM" to the PostScript version.
The only reason someone would want the PostScript version is to print it
out (the PDF version is much more useful when reading on-line). Since
both Acrobat and xpdf can produce the PostScript version, why do we need
it?
Think about how many more distfiles we could have fit on the CDROM set
w/o GimpUserManual-PS-1.0.0.tgz being there.
