Hi everyone,
I have been looking for ways to make EFL even more compact than it
is currently. One thing I have noticed about eet that it has many
dependencies:
#ldd libeet.so
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff655ff000)
libgnutls.so.26 => /usr/lib/libgnutls.so.26 (0x00007f6b2656b000)
libtasn1.so.3 => /usr/lib/libtasn1.so.3 (0x00007f6b2635b000)
libgcrypt.so.11 => /lib/libgcrypt.so.11 (0x00007f6b260e1000)
libgpg-error.so.0 => /lib/libgpg-error.so.0 (0x00007f6b25ede000)
libeina.so.1 => /usr/lib/libeina.so.1 (0x00007f6b25ca8000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00007f6b25a8f000)
libjpeg.so.8 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.8 (0x00007f6b25855000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f6b255d2000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f6b253b4000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f6b25053000)
librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x00007f6b24e4b000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f6b24c46000)
/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f6b26a54000)
Most come from eina, but these are new dependencies:
libgnutls.so.26 (695KB)
libtasn1.so.3 (65KB)
libgcrypt.so.11 (495KB)
libgpg-error.so.0 (13KB)
libz.so.1 (97KB)
libjpeg.so.8 (238KB)
On my amd64 eet is 109KB library while it is introducing extra 1.6MB
dependency. I see that libz and libjpeg is actively used. However,
eet_*_cipher are not used by other EFL libraries and E17.
My idea is to push eet_*_cipher to separate eet_cipher library, which
loaded by eet_cipher_init() call. Exactly the same way as ecore is
split. This will allow to reduce the size of dependencies by 80%.
I do understand that I can build eet myself with "configure
--disable-gnutls --disable-openssl". But packagers of binary linux
distributions can't do it.
I don't mind to write such patch myself if the idea will be accepted.
