Hi,
I have recently found that most development packages, actually promoted to extras, like Subversion or CMake are almost non-optified.
Particularly CMake takes about 10 Mb of space, so it's very easy to end up with the phone completely full if you try to install a full development environment.
So I have tried to file a bug on Maemo's bugzilla and what a surprise, there are no packages listed but only user applications.
How could these packages promote to extras consuming so much space in rootfs?
What kind of testing process take the non-end-user applications?
How can a user report a bug to these non listed packages?
I find it quite weird being used to Debian/Ubuntu package management.
Thanks in advance.
