Bug#973545: gcc-10: 10.2.0-15 to 10.2.0-16 900MB larger?
Package: gcc-10
Version: 10.2.0-16
Severity: wishlist
When upgrading from 10.2.0-15 to 10.2.0-16 aptitude reports that gcc-10 is
282MB larger, g++-10 is 312MB larger, and cpp-10 is 283MB larger. In -15
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10/lto1 is 26M and in -16
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10/lto1 is 285M. I assume this is because of the
"don't strip the executables" changelog entry. If that's the case you do
another release like this, please be explicit that this will cause a massive
increase in disk utilization, since that is potentially really significant
growth in core component that isn't usually very large and people may wonder
what happened to their disk space.
