Reply To: Excessive disk use in Rosetta download and build processes

Hi bene,

Thanks for your careful investigation of the size of Rosetta.

It was an oversight to not strip out the .svn directories–which we’ll take care of.

As for building two copies of the executables, this is a known bug that should be fixed soon. For now feel free to delete the extra copies.

As for stripping the symbols, we keep them in so users can get backtraces in the debugger should they run into a problem and want to try to figure out what is going on. If you are concerned about the executable size the best thing to do would be to call ‘strip’ on each executable

Best of luck,
Matt
