2011260 - The in-tree RPM isn't consistent with the DEB package regarding stripping `.symtab`/`.strtab` when repackaging nightlies

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: Release Automation, defect)

Description

[Bastien Orivel [:eijebong]]

That inflates the installed size by ~55MB. The deb package strips it properly.

What should be stripped? If debug symbols, I hope that they're provided in a .*-debuginfo package. My concern is that, currently, they're not provided (so the user is reliant upon DebugInfoD):

RokeJulianLockhart@Beedell:~$ dnf5 search 'firefox*debuginfo'
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Matched fields: name
 firefox-debuginfo.x86_64       Debug information for package firefox
RokeJulianLockhart@Beedell:~$ dnf5 search 'firefox-nightly'
Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Matched fields: name (exact)
 firefox-nightly.aarch64        Mozilla Firefox Nightly
 firefox-nightly.x86_64 Mozilla Firefox Nightly

We already strip binaries as part of the build task, no need to do it
again (and risk invalidating signatures) when repackaging.
