Unfortunately PDF files also include the user manual end the reference documentation of functions the program provides. The program GUI has a menu from which the user can select the document to show (the document is displayed in the pdf-reder program). Sources of PDF documents are not provided so I think need to have PDFs around. Summary of the unpacked archive: binary programs: 172M (can be stripped) PDFs: 166M (it is better to stay in IMHO) sources and data files: 71M ActiveTcl: 21M (can be stripped) Do you think 166M + 71M unpacked are a reasonable size to put on the VCS? > To do this, please create a "get-orig-source" target in debian/rules, > which should do all the needed steps to obtain a source-only (and > *free*!) tarball.
