There are only 53 pkgs that are used by more than 50% of Archstat users!

I have 384 on my system (bit bloated)

FUBAR · 2005-05-31 10:31:10

I have more!

[12:30:38] fubar@ferro:~/ $ pacman -Q | wc
    434     868    7218

Cam · 2005-05-31 11:00:37

312

But all the Python libs I install, I've bundled up as packages so they all count individually.

iphitus · 2005-05-31 11:05:37

i win

~//iphitus@127.0.0.1//>_pacman -Qi |wc
    656    1312   11352

and that doesnt count the programs that i installed without pkgbuilds.

ozar · 2005-05-31 17:26:00

I'm suffering from bloat, too!

[ozar@ozarito ~]$ pacman -Q | wc
    187     374    3108

klapmuetz · 2005-05-31 19:18:57

Main workstation: 328
I can't feel any bloat. :-)

Main server: 135
Lean mean serving machine!

good thing I keep a regular backup filelist of what pacman has installed....

whatah · 2005-05-31 22:04:13

damn you, iphitus. you have one more than me:

$ pacman -Qi | wc
    655    1310   11336

This was supposed to be about Arch stats - not about who has the most bloat

me.

pffft...kernels compiled, per hour, over the last year or so:

dtw · 2005-06-01 10:29:57

iph how do you compile a kernel in 7 mins on a 1.5 ghz machine, it takes me 60 mins on a 1 ghz

big_gie · 2005-06-01 15:12:00

-(root@hostname:1)-(9 files:32K@Fichiers)-(0 jobs)-(17:08)-

Too much things...:)

my config only includes what's relevant to my computer, no extra modules for hardware I dont have. heh, maybe running -ck might help too (hey phrakture )

deficite · 2005-06-02 21:38:30

Newly formatted system: 238
If it wasn't for the 5 billion packages KDE demands it'd be a whole lot less .

Oh, and just yesterday I compiled at least 5 kernels.

dtw · 2005-06-03 04:21:21

iph - i really need a way of quickly running down which config options provide which modules - any suggestions?

Go across to the help of the item (in menuconfig) and see what it's named, CONFIG_WHATEVER

Usually it's similar to the module name.

I find the best way to prune your kernel config, is to spend a good half an hour and go through the whole menuconfig menus, and disable just about everything that seems irrelevant to the hardware, most things are *really* easy, as you know what hardware you have. And i've got an intel chipset, so im not going to find via or amd based chipset ide controllers or other things like that either. So arm yourself with your dmesg output, lsmod, lspci and you should be ready to go. If you ever run into anything that you're unsure about, go to help see what it says, if it reccommends keeping it, keep it, if it doesnt say anything, ask on irc, someone's bound to know.
Over time you can whittle down the things htat you've been unsure about, and you'll get a good clean config.

again, come on irc sometime today or tommorow and ill be happy to help. just have an untarred kernel and menuconfig up

CyberTron · 2005-06-03 07:27:03

well, my system is a bit bloated with all the gnomelibs and a lot of other libs that i may or may not need...

pacman -Q |wc

UPDATE:

thanks iph - i am about to fly home to the UK, which buggers us timezone wise but will try to catch up with you during my recuperation period in the UK. do you even use loadable module support by the way?

Yes and no, when i compile a kernel with Software Suspend I use modules for plenty of things, usb, everything I possibly can - if i can remove modules before a suspend, and reload htem after, it increases the chances of a successful suspend.

But generally, I compile most things in, except wireless, and sound.

So yes, i do use loadable module support.
