archlinux-pkgs-debloated

Previously known as 'llvm-libs-debloated'

---

This repo makes modified versiones of Archlinux packages, these are intended for AppImages to reduce final size, like:

• mesa-mini and vulkan-{radeon,intel,etc}-mini remove linking to libLLVM.so, making any hardware accelerated app tiny as result.

• mesa-nano and vulkan-{radeon,intel,etc}-nano similar to mesa-mini, built with -Os which makes it ~30% smaller. Note -Os can have a performance and even stability issue so do not use this package in apps like emulators where this is critical.

• llvm-libs-mini smaller version of libLLVM.so which is a 150+ MiB library, this version is reduced down to 99 MiB.

• llvm-libs-nano, similar to mini, but with the llvm targets limited (x86_64 or aarch64) + AMDGPU, this reduces the size of the library to less than 70 MiB. Note this will cause issues if application depends on more llvm targets like compilers.

• qt6-base-mini and libxml2-mini, remove 30 MiB libicudata lib dependency.

• ffmpeg-mini which removes 20 MiB libx265.so dependency, also removes AV1 enconding support (decoding still works).

• opus-mini I have no idea why Archlinux makes this lib 5 MiB when both ubuntu and alpine make it <500 KiB

• gdk-pixbuf2-mini, librsvg-mini These remove the glycin dependency, ~20 MiB of bloat. (glycin is also super buggy and depends on bwrap which is problematic for running appimages in very old kernels)

• icu-mini Much smaller version of libicudata.so that is less than 3 MIB in size (10x reduction in size).
