   Finishing off testing Linux 6.9 upgrade for Slackware ARM. Looks good so far! #slackware #linux

     @cschen It was because we were including debug information. Since it's no longer needed, I've stripped it out, reducing the package size to 65MB. I appreciate the suggestion to revisit this—it was a helpful nudge!

     @mozes Hi there, why is the kernel_armv8 consolidated package so big? Comparing with x86/x86-64 versions by PV:
     kernel-generic-6.12.7-i686-1.txz 57M
     kernel-generic-6.12.7-x86_64-1.txz 71M
     A kernel package beyond 1GB is beyond my imagination:
     kernel_armv8-6.12.6-aarch64-1.txz 939M
