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

• 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 This builds it without the glycin dependency, which removes 20 MiB of bloat. (glycin is also super buggy and depends on bwrap which is problematic for running appimages in very old kernels)
