Subject: bug#45508: ‘guix system disk-image‘ installs GRUB debug files
Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2020 17:44:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0443AD22-8683-4B95-82E1-D5A4CE1A0E7C@vodafonemail.de> (raw)

Hi!

I noticed that ‘guix system disk-image’ installs GRUB with its debug files, which doubles the size for GRUB inside the image.

There is gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (install-grub), which does a simple

  (copy-recursively (string-append bootloader "/lib/") install-dir)

This also copies gdb_grub, gmodule.pl and all *.module files, in total about 200 files. These *.module file are basically unstriped versions of the *.mod files.

The (install-grub) function should prevent to install these files, or – possibly better – the grub package could move these files into a separate debug output.


Bye

Stefan
