In the daily build, the "program" directory contains the below duplicate files reported by fdupes : LibreOfficeDev 24:./program/libcrypto-3.dll LibreOfficeDev 24:./program/python-core-3.8.18/lib/libcrypto-3.dll This duplicate file uses 5 MB.
The below 760 kB file is also a duplicate : LibreOfficeDev 24:./program/libssl-3.dll LibreOfficeDev 24:./program/python-core-3.8.18/lib/libssl-3.dll
Related to https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b4dfba947768834ffecc09056992019878711c8b python3: update to 3.8.4 which indicates: "Then there are the changes introduced in "PEP 587 -- Python Initialization Configuration", which appearingly have modified the DLL search path behaviour on Windows, so the OpenSLL DLLs aren't found anymore in the program directory. As a workaround, the OpenSLL and libffi DLLs are now (also) installed into the Python lib dir on Windows."
Could we use links (ln -s) for libraries as in Linux ?
Symbolic links exist in Windows also with relative path : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/win32/fileio/creating-symbolic-links
Makes sense to find a way to reuse the same file instead of duplicating it.
Dear Jérôme, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug

However, their content isn't the same. Note there is the same issue with "libssl-3.dll". It seems the content of those dll is quite the same.
