I'm building some minimal images with mkosi, and I was working on a pull request to add a "package manifest", i.e. a dump of all packages, and I noticed that archful packages which were rebuilt with no changes between F34 and rawhide have almost all gotten smaller:
-SourcePackage: acl-2.3.1-1.fc34.src.rpm +SourcePackage: acl-2.3.1-2.fc35.src.rpm Packages: acl libacl -Size: 255585 +Size: 254969 -SourcePackage: audit-3.0.3-1.fc34.src.rpm +SourcePackage: audit-3.0.3-2.fc35.src.rpm Packages: audit-libs -Size: 303278 +Size: 303105 -SourcePackage: coreutils-8.32-30.fc34.src.rpm +SourcePackage: coreutils-8.32-31.fc35.src.rpm Packages: coreutils coreutils-common -Size: 16941864 +Size: 16921108 -SourcePackage: dbus-broker-29-2.fc34.src.rpm +SourcePackage: dbus-broker-29-3.fc35.src.rpm Packages: dbus-broker -Size: 396543 +Size: 396327 -SourcePackage: expat-2.4.1-1.fc34.src.rpm +SourcePackage: expat-2.4.1-2.fc35.src.rpm Packages: expat -Size: 295609 +Size: 295041 ... This is the uncompressed size, so any differences in rpm compression are not relevant. The binaries are smaller. Kudos to the compiler folks! Zbyszek P.S. Sadly, some of this is offset by new deps: -SourcePackage: cracklib-2.9.6-25.fc34.src.rpm -Packages: cracklib -Size: 251906 +SourcePackage: cracklib-2.9.6-26.fc35.src.rpm +Packages: cracklib cracklib-dicts +Size: 10066620 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1992607 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
