Sorry for the delayed response. My biggest piece of feedback that I levied before and got some positive feedback on before is doing s/so/lib/ on the naming so we can extend this in the future to non-so library formats if desired.

How costly is the find_sodepends() bit, especially on packages with thousands of files (sage-mathematics, game data, etc)?
I've asked a few people, looked at the code used for stripping and I think it's safe to check only executable files. That cut down the time needed for sage from 5 min to 19 sec (i7-920, tempfs). I've also noticed that the stripping code uses -perm -o+x and not -executable. The manpage says -executable also checks ACLs and owner, group, other. Any reason why we don't use -executable? -- Florian Pritz -- {flo,bluewind}@server-speed.net
