I am looking at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18775 and want to ensure that I do not remove too many libraries.
I think that preserving any sigar library where the file name contains the word "linux" or "macosx" should be acceptable. This will preserve: libsigar-amd64-linux.so libsigar-ia64-linux.so libsigar-ppc-linux.so libsigar-ppc64-aix-5.so libsigar-ppc64-linux.so libsigar-ppc64le-linux.so libsigar-s390x-linux.so libsigar-universal-macosx.dylib libsigar-universal64-macosx.dylib libsigar-x86-linux.so and remove: libsigar-amd64-freebsd-6.so libsigar-amd64-solaris.so libsigar-ia64-hpux-11.sl libsigar-pa-hpux-11.sl libsigar-ppc-aix-5.so libsigar-sparc-solaris.so libsigar-sparc64-solaris.so libsigar-x86-freebsd-5.so libsigar-x86-freebsd-6.so libsigar-x86-solaris.so resulting in a savings of 3,105,384 bytes out of 6,450,526 from the /lib/sigar-bin directory, a 48% reduction. Does anyone see any reason _not_ to do this?
