[cctbxbb] (not really cctbx: PHENIX release bundle content: .o files)

[Winter, Graeme (DLSLtd,RAL,LSCI)]

Hi All,

Could not think of a better place to ask this question

Installed a PHENIX update this morning and noticed it is quite a substantial download - hard to avoid, in this modern day. While unpacking I noticed it contained a lot of object files - totting it up seems to be ~ 450 MB of .o files which are probably not useful for the average end user.

Just wondered, are these worth stripping out before making the release bundles?

I note the same is true for DIALS so I am not claiming some moral high ground here & also

… looks like my colleagues decided to pick up on this & happened to agree

Just thought worth asking

Cheers Graeme
