 Hi,

 AFAIK for installing Marble on the disc it is just me (wrote/maintain the
 simple install script, overview, & quickstart). If a packager from the
 Marble dev team shows up with non-kde-edu packages, I'm sure they'd be
 welcome (especially if the backport was offered via UbuntuGIS). For my
 part though, I'm not going to be rebuilding them, so if nothing changes
 the next update will happen when we update the Ubuntu version to 14.04 (10
 months from now). Their download page simply points to the official Ubuntu
 packages we use, and us :).

 looking at it from another angle, I would enjoy it if the KDE-edu team
 thought that our disc would be an interesting thing to spend some time
 collaborating on.

 re. space:
 On 7.0alpha3 'apt-get remove marble' and 'apt-get autoremove' only cleans
 up 7mb of disc space. Both the filelight and okular utils also use KDE,
 removing them + autoremove clears up 124mb (uncompressed) in another 66
 packages. I personally like filelight (disk use analysis) and okular (pdf
 viewer) a lot, but neither are essential.

 Presumably with new marble packages some of that would have to remain.


 not taking any action on this at this point,
 Hamish
