size difference between 4.9 and 4.14 kernels

[Holger Levsen]

hi,

on 3.2 I ran "sudo qubes-dom0-update" this morning, followed by "sudo
qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-dom0-current-testing --action=upgrade kernel-qubes-vm"
which then prompted me with this:

Installing:
kernel x86_64 1000:4.14.13-3.pvops.qubes qubes-dom0-cached 46 M
kernel-qubes-vm x86_64 1000:4.14.13-3.pvops.qubes qubes-dom0-cached 62 M
Removing:
kernel x86_64 1000:4.9.35-20.pvops.qubes @qubes-dom0-cached 179 M
kernel-qubes-vm x86_64 1000:4.9.35-20.pvops.qubes @qubes-dom0-cached 206 M

Is that really expected and correct that the new kernels are that much
smaller?

I think this is just about estimation of used disk space - one package
is already installed and rpm know how much disk space is really used,
the other one have only some estimation in rpm metadata.

RPM package sizes are very similar: 41M (4.9) vs 46M (4.14).

thanks for confirming this.

sadly I now have issues with resume (5 failures on 5 tries), see
update-status #398...
