I don't yet have proof of this, but I suspect that we might have more packages that either: 1. Don't respect our compilation flags and thus simply are larger because of that or 2. Are built in static or static-like manner which promotes binary bloat (Go, Rust, etc.) Last I checked, we don't have anything significant on the ISOs that fall into the latter category, so I would not be shocked if the former is the reason why... -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
