Details

Since there is no maintainer specified with glest 2.0.0-4 (community)
I put this here:

The binary of glest (/opt/glest/glest) has a size of about 19MB
as it is not stripped.
Stripping reduces its size to 800kB(!).

Shipping the package with a stripped glest binary would
thus save bandwidth and disk usage.
This task depends upon

I've put a link to this report on glest's AUR page so TU willing to adopt and update it will see this issue.
