Not complaining, just wondering - I was upgrading my system and noticed that the net upgrade size is -748 MB, with just a few important-looking packages set to be upgraded. So I checked and it’s wine - going from 1338 MB (9.9-1) to just 587 MB (9.9-2).

I checked the commits to the package repo, and as far as I can tell, this is the only change between 9.9-1 and 9.9-2 - it removes a bunch of hardening flags and that’s it. I know these often come at the price of increasing the final build size, but more than double?

For context, the Arch-wide flags are defined here, if I understand it correctly

    You should still have the previous package in your cache right? If so, extract that and the current package, and then compare the two folders to see what’s changed - meld is a good tool for that.

      I’m satisfied with the explanation from the other answer, but thanks, this is a good idea and I hope I’ll remember it the next time I want to quickly compare package versions
