(Samba Team, Debian bug #474543 about 'bloating' of the code between 3.0 and 3.2 might be of some interest to you as it contains suggestions to improve the size of compiled executables, meaning there could be some room for improving things here or there. The whole bug log may be seen at http://bugs.debian.org/474543)
Hello, While wandering around samba bugs, I went back on #474543. Looking at 3.2.5-2 packages, the table mentioned by Larry in his original bug report becomes: 2:3.0.31-1 2:3.2.0-3 2:3.2.5-2 libtalloc1 0 84 80 libwbclient0 0 136 152 libsmbclient 2348 3876 3876 samba-common 7036 11116 9512 smbclient 12704 25628 18868 -------------------------------------------------------- total 22088 40840 32488 So, some improvement...but one should note that, looking at 3.3 packages in experimental: libtalloc1 - libwbclient0 160 libsmbclient 4268 samba-common 11456 smbclient 24736 -------------------------- total 40620 ....the bloat seems to come back... --
