Nice one. I ran it and the obvious suspects are a the top (or bottom in this case) like openjdk, kernel, openoffice.org and eclipse. But one thing surprised me. Number 3 on the list of biggest packages is git. Huh?! If I do rpm -ql git I see the usual stuff like man pages, docs, some stuff in /usr/libexec and /usr/bin. My scipt foo is unsufficient to figure out what’s causing the massive size of the git rpm. Any ideas?
