212150 - RPMs for RedHat 7x were built with debug info and the binaries are not stripped

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Dominik Mierzejewski]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030709
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030709

The RedHat 7.x RPMs for Mozilla 1.4 release were built with debug info included
and with disabled stripping of the libs. This makes the packages almost 4 times
larger than the corresponding RedHat 8.x packages (30MB vs 8MB for the main
package).

Solution: don't set CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to "-g" and remove --disable-strip-libs
from ./configure options


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.4/contributed/Red_Hat_7x_RPMS/i386/
2. Download the packages
3. Install them


Actual Results:  
Mozilla takes 4 times the space it should and performs slower.

Expected Results:  
Take less space after installation and work faster. :)

The RPMs are contributed, so you want to contact whoever contributed them...
