[solved] binary gets smaller when package()-d

I'm trying to package my dotnet program. The build part works fine, but package somehow takes the wrong binary? I'm not sure how it happens, but instead of 24MB it is 72kB and obviously does not work.

build() {
    cd "${srcdir}/${_sourceName}" 
    MSBUILDDISABLENODEREUSE=1 dotnet publish bookmark-dlp/bookmark-dlp.csproj \
    --configuration Release \
    --no-self-contained \
    --runtime linux-x64 \
    --framework net${_dotnet_version} \
    -p:PublishSingleFile=true
}

package() {
    echo "pkgdir: $pkgdir"
    echo "srcdir: $srcdir"
    echo "pkgname: $pkgname"
    echo "_sourceName: ${_sourceName}"
    # Ensure the directories exist
    install -d "$pkgdir/usr/bin"
    install -d "$pkgdir/usr/lib"
    # Copy the package files to the appropriate directory
    cp -r "${srcdir}/bookmark-dlp/bookmark-dlp/bin/Release/net8.0/linux-x64/publish/" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/"
    # Create the symbolic link
    ln -s "/usr/lib/$pkgname/${_sourceName}" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/$pkgname"
}

After running makepkg the

${srcdir}/bookmark-dlp/bookmark-dlp/bin/Release/net8.0/linux-x64/publish

directory contains 4 files, and the binary is the good one, but in $pkgdir/usr/lib/ there are 4 files and the binary is the wrong one.

repo has the PKGBUILD as well as all the source. When testing I just put the PKGBUILD in an empty dir and run makepkg. namcap suggested nothing regarding this issue.
Thanks for the help!

Re: [solved] binary gets smaller when package()-d

Please post the full PKGBUILD and makepkg output.

My guess is you need to disable the strip option for your package (see `man PKGBUILD | less -p "options \(array\)"`)

we can't help you much if you don't post the whole pkgbuild.
