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.

Neither of those are in extras - they're both in extras-devel currently. cmake is also in the Nokia System Software repository (not checked whether that's the same version or not though).

OK, Subversion is in devel, but CMake isn't.
Anyway, the questions are still valid.

You are aware that the packages you are referring to are not supposed to be on device? They are intended to be used in scratchbox.
As javispedro suggested, you could make your environment on a mmc card and work there. Assuming you really want to do everything on device.
