We currently include the following packages in the default server install:
* lm_sensors * openhpi * smp_utils
Of these packages, lm_sensors pulls in 33MB of dependencies (mostly PERL, including the PERL interpreter). I'm not personally sure if there's sufficient value in lm_sensors to justify installing it by default. (Pulling in an entire language interpreter just to support this one package seems like overkill).
openhpi and smp_utils are far more self-contained. openhpi pulls in net-snmp-libs and libsysfs, while smp_utils doesn't have any additional deps that aren't already part of the basic system.
That said, I'd like to know what people think about moving the @server-hardware-support group out of the mandatory install set and into the optional install set. All together, we're looking at about 43MB of on-disk usage for these three packages and their dependencies (above the packages in the minimal install).
