Default makepkg.conf options changed with pacman 6.0.2-9, so now every package built from AUR also builds and installs its debugging symbols (lemm.ee)

To find your already installed debug packages:

pacman -Q | grep -e '-debug '

This debug packages usually huge, I noticed this accidentally, and I haven't found a news about this on archlinux.org

To solve this add a ! before debug on line 97 in /etc/makepkg.conf

@infeeeee@lemm.ee, I think I got now why by default the keep strip and debug together. stripseems to be removing them only from the non -debug package generated, and not doing so on the -debug package generated. So they actually make sense together.

That said, you were right. If not interested on the -debug packages getting generated, just use !debug.

Greetings !
