ISO image is too big to fit on a CD

[Claude Heiland-Allen]

Current ISO are too big for CD, we need to bump some packages to DVD.

Priority for CD is realtime audio-visual tools.

The latest ISO I built locally with fresh broth is 753MiB / 788MB which means we need to shift around 53MiB / 56MB, which means that we probably have to be quite brutal.

Some immediate thoughts on packages might move to -extra (mainly cos they're non-rt-related):
subtitleeditor
gimp
inkscape
kicad (and kicad-doc-en)
powertop
evilwm

Out of those I don't know if there are specific reasons to keep em on the CD. Gimp and Inkscape have quite a high visibility; ppl might be surprised if gimp weren't on the CD?

going through the binary.packages list from the iso, here's what I think isn't essential on a CD:

abcm2ps
ardour-i686
cinelerracv
dcraw
dvdauthor
dvdstyler
dvdstyler-data
gimp-ufraw
hydrogen (bit useless anyway without the drumkit samples?)
kicad
kicad-common
kicad-doc-en
liquidsoap
rawstudio
subtitleeditor
ufraw
x264 (video encoder binary, not the library)
xchat
xchat-common

one of the two sets of cpp/gcc/g++ (do we need both 4.1 and 4.4), maybe only one of tcl/tk 8.4 and 8.5 somehow...

imo GIMP is crucial, Inkscape not quite so for me personally...

Ok, I made a few changes (see following attached files - I moved the cinelerra hook to storage and commented files as in stock-diff.txt, then massaged the binary.packages lists to get a reasonable packages-diff.txt) and ended up with an iso of 690MiB / 722MB - about to test to see if it works ok...

following discussion on IRC, I readded to the package lists (on my local copy):

ardour-i686
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
gstreamer0.10-x

and it just fits on a CD-RW (702MiB capacity according to k3b)
binary.iso is 734,347,264 bytes = 700.3MiB (according to k3b)

attached the full list of packages on the test iso I built here (the one that fits on a CD)

I pushed my changes to broth stock...
