I didn't measure the size of irssi-openssl as it is irrelevant to this discussion. irssi 0.8.10 = 655KB irssi 0.8.12 = 651KB >> 2) what deps are there ? and can we kill some of them irssi 0.8.10 + glib1 + libpthread + libncurses = 1234KB irssi 0.8.12 + glib2 + libiconv + libintl + libncurses = 2314KB Doesn't look like we can slim them down in any significant way. glib2 is a big nasty beast, 1247KB vs 158KB for glib1. The rest of the dep differences are minuscule -- libpthread (61KB) vs libiconv (23KB) and libintl (33KB) -- in comparison and roughly balance out. >> >> blogic I briefly looked at the irssi repo to see if we could simply re-add glib1 support for the newer version, but the changes are more extensive than I want to deal with and I certainly don't want to maintain a patch as we move forward. -Andy _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
