Size of slitaz-rolling.iso 5.0-RC4 20151115 is too big because of /var/cache/tazpkg/cooking/packages

Hi,

the size of the iso image almost doubled in size. I think, this must be a mistake. It is because /var/cache/tazpkg/cooking/packages is full of packages used to build it.

Yes, I also just saw this ... 68/71 MB ... this is almost like Ubuntu! :-)

I think the reason is that in the previous ISO from 8. Nov. the cooking directory had been renamed to '5.0' ...

/var/cache/tazpkg/cooking/packages

/var/cache/tazpkg/5.0/packages

... and if it's now back to 'cooking' maybe the script that's clearing the package cache isn't?

Hi there,

Sorry, my bad.

But I can't fix it right now, I'm working and will be home at 22:00 (UTC+2), then I'll fix building process and will rebuild ISOs. My apologies, it's because "tazpkg" update.

BTW, /var/lib/tazpkg should have the files installed* only.

Hi,

unfortunately slitaz-rolling.iso 5.0-RC4 20151116 has less, but still many packages in the cache.

They are in /var/cache/tazpkg/cooking/packages.

There are in rootfs2.gz 33, in rootfs3.gz 18 and in rootfs4.gz 9 packages in the cache.

slitaz-rolling-core64.iso (47.2 MB) seems to be alright, but slitaz-rolling.iso has 50.3 MB.

Hi kubepc,

Many thanks! Hope I'll find all the problems this night or tomorrow.

BTW, tomorrow I'll be free from my work and be able to devote all my time to debugging
