Details

Description:

With earlier task https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/68007 we started stripping the DLLs shipped with Wine. At the same time all other files - drv, sys, cpl, exe and even the static libraries - were left as-is.

As the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MinGW_package_guidelines suggest, we should be stripping at least the static libraries. Although in practise, we should probably do everything in /usr/lib*/wine/*windows/

  • package version(s) wine 8.10-1

Steps to reproduce:

  • file /usr/lib/wine/x86_64-windows/* | grep -v stripped | wc -l -> 381
  • change the PKGBUILD to strip everything, rebuild and install
    • aka sed s/\.dll// PKGBUILD
  • file /usr/lib/wine/x86_64-windows/* | grep -v stripped | wc -l -> 0
  • wine and windows apps work as usual
  • bonus: wine package is ~15% smaller
