= Compiler Flags on Pidora =

== Project Description ==

== Project Details ==

Find a set of compiler flags that creates smaller and more efficient binaries for Pidora, compared to the current compiler flags.

A set of packages will be selected for testing, to cover a range of dependencies and use cases, such as common utilities, libraries, and GUI tools.

The packages will be built in a Mock environment on an ARMv6 machine.

=== Goals by Release ===

Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:

'''0.1'''
* Create a script that compiles a list of packages from source, using different combinations of compiler flags, and outputs the sizes of the compiled binaries
* Find multiple combinations of compiler flags that create smaller binaries

'''0.2'''
* Test the combinations found in 0.1 against a larger set of packages to ensure there is a consistent reduction in binary size
* Test the performance of the smaller binaries and determine which set of compiler flags yields the best performace

'''0.3'''
* Submit a patch to the rpm package recommending the new compiler flags
