let's use stripped builds for linux

They are huge today with the debug symbols, and we're not crashing more there than on windows where we ship release builds.

what about providing both? Have the stripped ones as RC or something, or at the very least have a release version for the "average" user.

What's RC?

Ahh, once we switch to release candidates, move to stripped binaries?

wwiv avatar Mar 16 '21 02:03 wwiv

alright will switch to release builds once we get near a release

looks like cpack can do this with: CPACK_STRIP_FILES

So we can likely run cpack twice, once for a debug build and once for stripped build, we'll rename the ones with symbols BASENAME-debug.EXT

that looks like it's set in the cmake process and not just used by cpack. So we need to do this twice. A better idea may just to make a second build for debug symbols where one of us wants it
