03 / ORIGINAL ISSUE TEXT

python-lz4/python-lz4 #305 · read the original issue

The package currently has a size of 5,256 kb (amd64) as the library files are not stripped. Stripping the library files brings it down to a mere 656 kb.

This is important for building small Docker images for edge device scenarios.

Could the official library files be stripped?


A note about stripping: This is about removing debug symbols from the library.
```
