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

Option A:

• Choose a set of packages to use for the duration of this project.
• Find combinations of compiler flags that reduce the binary size compared to the current flags

Option B:

• Choose a set of packages to optimize
• Find a set of compiler flags that provide the best binary size and performance optimizations for those packages

* 0.2

Option A:

• Test the compiler flag combinations found in 0.1 for performance to determine most optimal flags

Option B:

• Using the compiler flags from 0.1, test against a variety of other packages to prove optimization

* 0.3

• Modify .rpmmacros file and submit for approval
