Regarding xz-utils' size, I was just checking and it seems not all programs are linking against liblzma, by passing --enable-dynamic to both configure lines the package gets reduced to 396 KiB. Also by not shipping xzdec and lzmadec the package gets down to 324 KiB. Jonathan, any reason why those are not dynamically linked? Also what's the point of shipping the xzdec and lzmadec tools in the main package? It seems they would make sense as part of another package as tiny decompressors-only, but no in addition to the main tools as those already provide the whole functionality? thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
