Package: fdisk-udeb Severity: normal Tags: d-i At over a megabyte, this is one of the larges udebs we have.
Building the binaries in this udeb with -Os -fomit-frame-pointer will save 16k from the runtime size of the installer, so I think it's worth doing it. I also think it would be worthwhile to split this udeb up, so only the bits that are needed can be used. FWIW, d-i uses the various bits as follows: - On mips, the partitioner uses fdisk, except on the swarm, which uses cfdisk. I expect this will change once mips finally goes to partman. - lilo-installer uses fdisk and sfdisk to set the active flag. - autopartkit uses fdisk Given this and the sizes, I think the best split would be to keep fdisk and sfdisk in fdisk-udeb, and split out a cfdisk-udeb. Only this new udeb would need to include translations, which are another large part of the size of the package. -- see shy jo
