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
