updating to 0.5.0.1

We went below 2MB. So after talking with @manukrishnantv I've stopped the diaspora service.

@amardeepsingh , what's up?

I have no idea how much pressure the guys behind Facebook, etc would be taking when the site goes down. LoL.

@akshay @praveenarimbrathod I am away as well for couple of days. My public is attached, as soon as I get access I'll try to sort something out with minimal disruption.

@praveenarimbrathod @akshay @amardeepsingh Apparently the server was so high it wouldn't even hold Amardeep's key :)

I've added the key after removing some old packages found in /var/cache/apt/archives. Please see if you can login @amardeepsingh.

/usr/share is 2.2G with package files that is not relevant to server. Like so many gnome directories, libreoffice, gimp and cheese. We have some space there.

Edit. Thought its a good idea to comment out login/sign-up links from home page to avoid 404 and replace with a maintenance message. Done that.

Remove gimp, libreoffice etc and start diaspora service.

Nice catch @fayadfami !
I've just done apt-get remove gimp and apt-get autoremove (which apparently removed libreoffice too :D)
We have 155M now

Removed that maintenance message from home page and re-enabled login links.

Some other packages like brasero, imagemagick, evolution, gnome games, documents removed to free up 15MB.

And inkscape - 64MB.

I'm gonna run the following commands, please review.

Further removed some desktop related files. Free space is now 500M.

All kinds of gstreamer plugins are installed which can be removed to get good amount of space. Does diaspora have any dependencies on them ? @praveenarimbrathod @akshay

Edit. apt-cache show diaspora-common, diaspora-installer doesn't show any dependencies for gstreamer. I am removing it.

@askhay Be careful with the dependencies. Some of them will be linked so its safe to pick them each and confirm the packages removed.

Thank @fayadfami I can login now.

Just checked the partition is 4.9 GB
/dev/vda1 4.9G 4.1G 629M 87% /

But the disk is 10GB
Disk /dev/vda: 10.7 GB, 10737418240 bytes

I am just looking at re-sizing and expanding the current partition.
