<PRE>Hi

Here's some preliminary results with &quot;compressed&quot; debug packages.

For some packages (rpm, firefox), no gain has been seen.
For some others, there's interesting results:

glibc:        77845759 (87% =&gt; 13% saved)
libreoffice:  31245576 (83.1% =&gt; 17% saved)
perl:         34588108 (94.7% =&gt; 5% saved)
perl-Gtk2:    12793813 (79.97% =&gt; 20% saved)

For very small packages with few symbols, there's not much to save:
perl-URPM:     635185 (98% =&gt; 2% saved)

This will result in:
- smaller size on mirrors for mga3
- slighty faster download for users when we ask them to install debug package
- less space usag for users when we ask them to install debug package

See you
</PRE>
