filesize of a repo-package differs from an own build package

hi all

I have some problems playing back audio-CD's with the newest
xine-lib-1.1.5-2.pkg.tar.gz. Xine-ui, gxine and amarok are crashing.

Thats why I started to build my own xine-lib-package. Tested some different
configure-settings without success. But that's not the point for me.

If I build the package with exactly the PKGBUILD from abs I get a difference
in filesize between the repo-package and my own build.

I always thought, that the filesize after build must be identical?
Didn't changed any compilersettings and the system is up to date.

ls -al /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xine-lib-1.1.5-2.pkg.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4660954 17. Apr 17:28 /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xine-lib-1.1.5-2.pkg.tar.gz

ls -al /var/abs/local/xine-lib/xine-lib-1.1.5-2.pkg.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 user users 4551594 18. Apr 18:47 /var/abs/local/xine-lib/xine-lib-1.1.5-2.pkg.tar.gz

Is this common or something abnormal?

thanks for taking a look

You could untar the two packages and take a closer look at where the difference is..

Re: filesize of a repo-package differs from an own build package

It's possible that, when you build xine, it detects  a lib that is installed on your system but not on the dev's system. That would result in  your xine package being built with more features than the official one.

Also: Are your CXXFLAGS identical to those of the dev? I guess this will make the size different.

Re: filesize of a repo-package differs from an own build package

hi and thanks to all of your replies

I compared both packages and the result is:

diff -qr xine-lib-abs xine-lib-repo

Files xine-lib-abs/.FILELIST and xine-lib-repo/.FILELIST are different.
Files xine-lib-abs/.PKGINFO and xine-lib-repo/.PKGINFO are different.

Files xine-lib-abs/usr/man/man5/xine.5.gz and xine-lib-repo/usr/man/man5/xine.5.gz sind
verschieden.

My package misses some plugins:
f.e. xineplug_ao_out_arts.so, xineplug_ao_out_jack.so
jack-audio-connection-kit and kdemod-arts are installed. Looks like that some
additional packages are missed?

And
some files are different f.e.
xineplug_inp_cdda.so and other?

b.t.w. there is new source package available xine-lib-1.1.6. It's bugfix release. I will test
this later

bye and thanks ToLo

The difference might be because you are using kdemod and not the official kde packages.

Re: filesize of a repo-package differs from an own build package

@snowman
the filesize of the package differs out of two reasons:

1. there are some extraplugins builded im my package (xineplug_ao_out_arts.so, xineplug_ao_out_jack.so,..)
    - depending on some additional libs on my system (doesn't really depend on kdemod)

2. the other reason is, there is a hardware-detection during the build
    - I found this in FAQ at www.xinehq.de:

Are there binaries for my AMD K7 (Athlon™) available? Can I build them?

If you have a recent gcc you can try to compile "more" k7 support in (esp. better instruction scheduling). If the configure script should fail to detect your processor/gcc correctly, try passing the canonical system name for your machine to configure with the --host option, e.g.

Re: filesize of a repo-package differs from an own build package

Reading the changelog for xine-lib I guess the problem should be resolved with 1.1.6 now.
