Is there a way to compile the source with debugging but have rpmbuild strip every file before packaging into the .rpm? This is the default buildpolicy in general (this is on RHEL 5 for example) rpm -E '%__os_install_post' /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-compress /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip /usr/bin/strip /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive /usr/bin/strip /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-comment-note /usr/bin/strip /usr/bin/objdump /usr/lib/rpm/brp-python-bytecompile /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-java-repack-jars
Well, on F11, if I compile with debugging symbols..and don't tell the target package to strip in it's install step, the resulting rpm is around 40MB, and if I do strip in the install, it's 6MB. The only thing that changes is the spec file's arguments to the install step. So, I think rpmbuild must NOT be actually stripping all the files... I'm new to building rpms, so I may be missing something. Here is how I'm building the rpms: rpmbuild -ba $RPMDIR/SPECS/xorp.ct.spec Thanks, Ben
