Code:
dpkg-query -W -f='${Installed-Size}\t${Package}\n' '*' | sort -n | tail -50
can be used to show the top 50 space hogs.
Won't this just show the largest packages. But won't show if any of them are optified. For instance if you install libicu42 it is over 20 megs of libraries; but since the library is optified the amount of space in usr/lib is just the symlinks.

Yes, it's just a quick way of looking for good candidates for further checking with something like this.

While on the subject, can we have exceptions for the openssh packages (and/or the dropbear equivalents)? They could come in handy for recovering from a broken /home partition so I would prefer to have them in the root filesystem (if that's also broken then it's probably time to reflash anyway).

Thanks a lot! Please keep these names of fat apps coming. Knowing about specific apps makes it easy to rationalize potential sensible exceptions. For instance, it is clear the difference between a user after openssh or a user after Fennec.

qt libs be cached in RAM and performance just as fast
as if the libs were stored in nand?

Should this thread be moved from General to N900 then?

I must have missed the memo.

a) From a developer perspective how are packages "optified"?

For example do you mean - instead of
$ configure --prefix=/usr --host arm
use
$ configure --prefix=/opt --host arm
???

b) From a [power] user perspective is there a more permanent way (a dpkg flag or such) to get packages to install into an alternative location rather than using this script to copy the contents of /usr to /opt (which I assume to be the desired behaviour)

c) What is the current partition structure of the N900 (and highlighting of the problem area would be appreciated)

The easist method is to use maemo-optify as the step before the dh_mdgenerate in the rules.

And what exactly does this mean? Since this is the content of the Fremantle libwebkit package:

It is optified from the day 1 it was posted there.

Hmm. I'd guess from that that the script is following the symlinks into /opt. That's easily fixed - I'll post an update this evening, when I'm back from work.
