Language pack sizes =================== langpack-o-matic has a script 'langpacksize' that helps to determine which packages fit on the CDs. You can download the latest version from http://codebrowse.launchpad.net/~pitti/langpack-o-matic/main/files This script prints a table of languages vs. categories and their single and cumulative sizes; by default, the numbers are bytes, but when being invoked with 'MB' as first argument, the numbers will be MB. E. g.: en G: 5.30 K: 5.55 G+K: 7.93 GSum: 5.30 KSum: 5.55 G+KSum: 7.93 es G: 3.57 K: 4.76 G+K: 6.16 GSum: 8.87 KSum: 10.32 G+KSum: 14.09 'G' is the size of base+gnome (as needed for Ubuntu CDs), 'K' is the size of base+kde (Kubuntu), 'G+K' is the size of base+gnome+kde (Edubuntu). In this context, 'base' means packages which are UI independent, such as coreutils, gcc, or hwdb-client. The 'Sum' field show the cumulative size of the packages for that language and all languages above it. The list is vertically ordered by the priority, i. e. they should be added from top to down. Please note that these sizes do not only include language-pack-*, but also the size of packages that provide input support for a particular language. Input support packages ====================== When shipping a language on a CD, the required input support packages must be shipped as well: zh: scim-chewing scim-pinyin scim-tables-zh ja: scim-anthy ko: scim-hangul am ar bn gu hi kn ml ne pa ru ta te vi: scim-tables-additional # the blank lines above are to not confuse vim because of the "vi:" line
