Hey, quiet impressive yes :) the image currently for 6.1 is ~70MB per architecture it seems, so i guess ffprobe is roughly about 35MB compressed at the moment, quite a difference still.
Do you know if it affects start up time better/worse? searched a bit about issues using it, and i guess the most undesirable effect seems to be that multiple processes will not be able to share file mapped pages any more.
Hmm i'm still a bit reluctant because of things like that, the rule of least surprise :) I guess one way would be to have a -upx variant of the image if ppl are concerned about size, but then again if i was concerned about size i would probably build a custom image with lots of features and libraries disabled. Maybe something like #216 could be helpful for that?
btw is download size or size on disk the most concern?
Some spring cleaning and not sure this will happen
using UPX greatly reduces filesizes, without issues so far (at least with ffprobe and the few months i've been trying...)
upx -v --ultra-brute --preserve-build-id --best --8086 --8mib-ram ffprobe
is the command i use.as per this asciicast
feel free to discard
