Hi, coming from alpine: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/12563 alice noticed the kernel packages got quite bigger, in particular for ppc64le I've confirmed that the vmlinuz file size jump when building with BTF: currently released package with BTF: https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main/ppc64le/linux-lts-6.1.33-r0.apk 272M boot/vmlinuz-lts test build without BTF: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/martinetd/aports/-/jobs/1049335 44M boot/vmlinuz-lts Is that a known issue? We'll probably just turn off BTF for the ppc64le build for now, but it might be worth checking. While I have your attention, even the x86_64 package grew much bigger than I thought it would, the installed modules directory go from 90MB to 108MB gzipped); it's a 18% increase (including kernel: 103->122MB) which is more than what I'd expect out of BTF. Most users don't care about BTF so it'd be great if they could be built and installed separately (debug package all over again..) or limiting the growth a bit more if possible. I haven't tried yet but at this point ikheaders is probably worth considering instead.. Perhaps we're missing some stripping option or something? Thanks! -- Dominique Martinet | Asmadeus
