Difference in binary file sizes after deploying package via yum/rpm
Hi Guys,
I have an issue whereby I package up an rpm and when I deploy it, the binary filesizes differ from what I packaged up from the SOURCE directory.
from source - -rwxrwxr-x 1 user group 685156 Sep 26 15:50 cybAgent.bin
after install - -rwxr-xr-x 1 user group 683388 Oct 16 11:10 cybAgent.bin
Other than the file sizes differing, I had no reason to believe there was an issue but it seems that all the binaries differ in size from what I packages up. Is tried deploying via yum and rpm and the sizes differ in both cases. Is this a known feature?
Thanks,
Gary.

SYNOPSIS
yum-versionlock [ package-name [ package-name]] ...
DESCRIPTION
yum-versionlock(1) is a Yum plugin that takes a set of name/versions for packages and excludes all other versions of those packages
(including optionally following obsoletes). This allows you to protect packages from being updated by newer versions.
The plugin provides a command "versionlock" which allows you to view and edit the list of locked packages easily.
yum versionlock add <package-wildcard>...
Add a versionlock for all of the packages in the rpmdb matching the given wildcards. yum versionlock exclude <package-wildcard>...
Add a exclude (within versionlock) for the latest versions of the packages in the available repos. matching the given wildcards. yum ver-
sionlock list

Remove any matching versionlock entries. yum versionlock clear

FILES
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.conf
The system wide configuration file. See yum-versionlock.conf(5) for more information.
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list
The default place to put package version lock information (one package and version per. line). The file takes entries in the follow-
ing format EPOCH:NAME-VERSION-RELEASE.ARCH See rpm(8) for more information on custom query formats. If the package does not have an
EPOCH the number will default to 0.
