Hi! Thanks for your report. Seems like this is side effect of: https://github.com/mysql/mysql-server/commit/38474c44e5330c0cbd338ee10613d4d3e703e672 which adds cmake option -DWITH_PACKAGE_FLAGS=1, which is fine in itself. The problem is that is option is enabled by default for Release builds, which need some more consideration. Fixing this for next release 8.0.26 is simple, however replacing an already public tarball will cause a series of other issues.

> replacing an already public tarball will cause a series of other issues I agree replacing is problematic, maybe adding a new tarball.

One of the uses for the minimal tarball is downloading and deploying it inside virtual machines or containers with limited resources. When the tarball suddenly consumes ten times its expected storage, there are several workflows that may fail. Every delay makes the problem more acutely felt. Since releasing the tarball in its current form is clearly a bug, replacing it should be the preferred option.

New minimal packages were released this morning: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ Linux - Generic (glibc 2.17) (x86, 64-bit), Compressed TAR Archive Minimal Install is now 49.5M Thank you for reporting it. Cheers.

Posted by developer: Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Server 8.0.27 release, and here's the proposed changelog entry from the documentation team: The code to produce minimal TAR packages added debug symbols to the packages, which caused larger (roughly by 10x) builds. Now DEB/RPM compiler flags are on by default for debug symbol builds, and off by default for minimal sized release builds. Thank you for the bug report.
Description: Hi, downloading the minimal Linux binaries for 8.0.26, I found them quite big, and they are compared to 8.0.25 (468M vs 49M): $ ls -lh mysql-8.0.25-linux-glibc2.17-x86_64-minimal.tar.xz mysql-8.0.26-linux-glibc2.17-x86_64-minimal.tar.xz -rw-r--r-- 1 jgagne jgagne 49M Apr 25 19:53 mysql-8.0.25-linux-glibc2.17-x86_64-minimal.tar.xz -rw-r--r-- 1 jgagne jgagne 468M Jul 1 17:51 mysql-8.0.26-linux-glibc2.17-x86_64-minimal.tar.xz Jeremy Cole found that they include debug info [1], which explains the increased size, but looks suspicious: $ file mysql_8.0.2{5,6}/bin/mysqld mysql_8.0.25/bin/mysqld: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, not stripped mysql_8.0.26/bin/mysqld: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, with debug_info, not stripped [1]: https://twitter.com/jeremycole/status/1418650235690131456 Many thanks for looking into this, Jean-François Gagné How to repeat: See description.
