Hi Here's some preliminary results with "compressed" debug packages.
For some packages (rpm, firefox), no gain has been seen. For some others, there's interesting results: glibc: 77845759 (87% => 13% saved) libreoffice: 31245576 (83.1% => 17% saved) perl: 34588108 (94.7% => 5% saved) perl-Gtk2: 12793813 (79.97% => 20% saved) For very small packages with few symbols, there's not much to save: perl-URPM: 635185 (98% => 2% saved) This will result in: - smaller size on mirrors for mga3 - slighty faster download for users when we ask them to install debug package - less space usag for users when we ask them to install debug package See you
