build: reduce tarball size by 8-10% #961
Conversation
Slim the tarballs further by removing examples, documentation and test for third party libraries. Also switch to checkout-index versus archive so we avoid using tar.

fwiw, we might want to make sure we're properly

I'm +1 on all of this and also for removing wrk--as long as we introduce instructions for installing it and/or a check in the I'd like to hear from contributors & TC members who have been around a while because there could be historical or other context that impacts on this. /cc @iojs/tc |

Thanks for the feedback. I'll create an issue to discuss "the bigger question" as well as a PR for removing wrk for review. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
You can also include testing here.

Yeah, there's heaps of small stuff that we can start picking off. For now I focused on the bigger folders/items. I can go bananas (as in, do a clean sweep) at a later stage, but I prefer talking about our intentions first.

"Verified" by using a generated tarball to configure, compile and test io.js.
Beyond this, it'll get tricker to further reduce the size. A few things to consider:
make bench-httprequirestools/wrkwhich is bundled (3.9mb) but a lot of benchmarks also assumesabis available. Perhaps dropwrkfrom our bundle and make the same assumption?
