nginx has more than 90 megabytes since excluded PSOL

[patschi]

Since PSOL needs to be downloaded and extracted manually my nginx executable file is larger than about 90 megabytes. I guess the 140 MB folder of psol is the fault of this big filesize. Is there a way to reduce the big executable file?

The psol directory has four large files and many small ones:

• 32bit Release binary pagespeed_automatic.a
• 64bit Release binary pagespeed_automatic.a
• 32bit Debug binary pagespeed_automatic.a
• 64bit Debug binary pagespeed_automatic.a

Providing four separate downloads would help here, at the expense of making installation more complicated.

Thanks! I just removed the 32-bit binary files to reduce the size of nginx. Is the Debug binary required for a working pagespeed module?

I currently had a simple idea: What would be with a simple bash script, which automically downloads only the needed one? I would write one, but I don't know if there are own download links of PSOL for x32 or x64 systems.

The execution would be simple as it is - For example: wget -O - https://github.com/pagespeed/ngx_pagespeed/psol-download.sh | bash

That would be a good idea, I already use bash based script to integrate ngx_pagespeed into Centmin Mod http://centminmod.com/nginx_ngx_pagespeed.html. So would be handy to have download links for 32bit and 64bit versions which you could just match against uname -m variable ?
