Is there any (official or unofficial) source download of OpenCV that excludes some of the extras that make the official package very large?
The 2.4.6.1 package takes quite a while to download, and unzips to over 170 MB:
du -h -d 1
52M ./3rdparty
536K ./apps
340K ./cmake
37M ./data
13M ./doc
52K ./include
34M ./modules
2.0M ./platforms
33M ./samples
172M .
I'm deploying an app and don't need any of the demo data, samples, docs, or 3rdparty stuff.
