https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Minimal_GDB_in_buildroot == Summary == Create <code>gdb-minimal</code> package (without XML support, Python support, Syntax Highlight and such) and switch to it in buildroot. == Owner == * Name: [[User:ignatenkobrain|Igor Gnatenko]], [[User:sergiodj|Sergio Durigan Junior]] * Email: ignatenkobrain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, sergiodj@xxxxxxxxxxxx == Detailed Description == Create subpackage in <code>gdb</code> source package called <code>gdb-minimal</code> that will contain 2 files: * <code>/usr/libexec/gdb-minimal</code> — GDB executable built without optional unneeded features * <code>/usr/bin/gdb-add-index</code> — Executable script shared with gdb-headless package (modified to fallback to gdb-minimal if exists) debuginfo code in RPM needs just gdb-add-index and that one doesn't need any syntax highlight or python plugins to work. As of Apr 26, following packages would disappear from buildroot: <pre> boost-regex-1.69.0-6.fc30.x86_64 ctags-5.8-25.fc30.x86_64 gdbm-libs-1:1.18-4.fc30.x86_64 libbabeltrace-1.5.6-2.fc30.x86_64 libicu-63.1-2.fc30.x86_64 libipt-2.0-2.fc30.x86_64 python-pip-wheel-19.0.3-1.fc31.noarch python-setuptools-wheel-40.8.0-1.fc30.noarch python3-3.7.3-2.fc31.x86_64 python3-libs-3.7.3-2.fc31.x86_64 python3-pip-19.0.3-1.fc31.noarch python3-setuptools-40.8.0-1.fc30.noarch source-highlight-3.1.8-24.fc31.x86_64 sqlite-libs-3.27.2-3.fc31.x86_64 </pre> == Benefit to Fedora == * Python 3 will disappear from buildroot (yes, it was there just because of GDB) * RPM download size for buildroot preparation will go down from 101M to 85M * installed buildroot size will go down from 439M to 350M == Scope == * Proposal owners: Create a subpackage in gdb, Add <code>Suggests: gdb-minimal</code> into rpm-build * Other developers: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8311 #8311] * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) == Upgrade/compatibility impact == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == User Experience == Python 3 will disappear from buildroot, but nobody should have ever relied on it since we have guidelines about that for long time: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#buildrequires == Dependencies == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?) N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change) -- Ben Cotton Fedora Program Manager TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis Pronouns: he/him _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
