Hm.. I use the following in ~/.rpmmacros - so debug stuff doesn't get generated
%debug_package %{nil}
I thought this should prevent the debug symbols going anywhere
(including the .rpm file). I guess I was wrong.
-bash-2.05b$ ls -l libgklayout.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 test test 69808062 Sep 16 10:20 libgklayout.so
-bash-2.05b$ strip libgklayout.so
-bash-2.05b$ ls -l libgklayout.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 test test 5750012 Sep 16 10:20 libgklayout.so
I'll try a --rebuild without that..
