Reduce size #13

Open probonopd opened 7 years ago

A lot of files are not stripped, check with find . -type f -exec file {} \; | grep "not stripped". Unfortunately this apparently saves only about 1 MB though.

Need to investigate more savings potential.

Just an FYI QTWebengine is huge. I am not sure PIM apps will be much smaller :(

Cleaned up some stuff in /usr/share 10MB worth. Some more close examination can probably slim it more.

https://s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/ds9-apps/kmail-master-appimage/kmail-git20170224-x86_64.AppImage is now "down" to 200 MB. To make significant further size improvements, one might have to look at the compile options of the libraries to see whether some things can be statically compiled and/or disabled as part of the compilation. Not sure if it's worth it though.
