[debian-mysql] Bug#1053738: Bug#1053738: mariadb: what's up with the binary sizes?

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Hi!

Indeed the binary sizes of MariaDB are quite large. The way they are
built is the same as at upstream, there is no artificial bloating
going on in Debian.

Any ideas on how to reduce the binary size are welcome!

The packaging source code is at
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server and instructions
on how to contribute in
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-server/-/wikis/Contributing-to-MariaDB-packaging-in-Debian
if you want to try playing around with the build yourself.
