Re: [tdf-discuss] Suggestion: Separating Writer, Calc, Base, Draw etc

One small problem with this idea: there is no such a thing as "small
components" on LibO.
Everything is shared. If you look at the installer package (for
example, the rpm files for a Linux install), "Writer", "Draw", etc
accounts for only a couple of megas, the whole thing is on "core"
packages. To break the install the way you want a mayor redesign is
needed and surely this will break not only the install...
Right now, by not installing some components you gain lot of troubles
and only a small disk space. Of course, this also apply to bandwidth:
download LibO without, say, base will not give you a much smaller
package.
