Well, that explains part of it:
Code:
--------------------
# file ./lame.old
./lame.old: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped
# file ./lame
./lame: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically
linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not stripped
--------------------
Sorry to ask such a noob question, but, what is stripping, and how does
one do it? (faint sound of cymbal crash and snare drum going "bah-dump
bump" in background.)
For instance:
Code:
--------------------
# strip -s --strip-all --discard-all lame.new -o lame.new.strip
# ls lame* -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 squeezecenter squeezecenter 349146 2008-07-07 14:52 lame
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 349146 2008-07-08 15:22 lame.new
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 322232 2008-07-08 15:30
lame.new.strip
-rwxr-xr-x 1 squeezecenter squeezecenter 71268 2007-04-07 16:46 lame.old
--------------------
..doesn't seem to have much of an effect on the filesize.
PS: livna is one of the main rpm repos for Fedora:
