Yesterday, after downloading the newest 3.4 source RPM's, notices that kbear was patched again, so I decided to build my own package. That worked good, however the size was huge compared to the version build for 3.4. The kbear package that comes with 3.4 is in the neighborhood of 2.3MB's, but mine was 14.4MB!! What a difference.
Taking what I learned of the strip command, it was applied to the bin/*, lib/*so, and lib/*. This reduced the package down to 9.1MB's, which is still too big considering the size of the 3.4 package.
Now, what is not being done when this package is built. Here is the terminal command that is being applied and the SPEC:
rpmbuild -ba --target i686 kbear.spec
and the SPEC...
kbear.spec:
