Gaim 2.0 cvs 167mb


How can the gaim cvs be 167mbs?? It only took me about 20 mins to download it with my dial up connection... I didnīt even notice the size until I went to do a backup today and I selected my installed_src directory

there's load of part compiled objects that get statically linked into other objects further down the line, so it can quickly stack up.

gaim 2.0 doesn't exist of course... 1.0 only came ou last month...

Oh ok I though it was strange (The version number) but it definitly says 2.0.0cvs when I start it up, so maby what it means is 2.0.0cvs and not 2.0

Is there anyway easy way for me to make a backup without backing up all the linked files as well?? If not it doesnīt matter but it would be useful.

Thanks for the info
