Only coreutils is about 165.1 MiB so 12% which is better than 33% but not nothing either; especially if git-mininal becomes an hard dependency of Guix (as proposed in e.g. patch##65866 [1]). Another fix could be that git-minimal does not provide the "git submodule" subcommand for example; or other ones. I have not considered that yet and I am not plainly proposing that; somehow I would like to avoid to have a git-minimal that would not be really "minimal" for features that are not minimalist :-) Cheers, simon 1: [bug#65866] [PATCH 0/8] Add built-in builder for Git checkouts Ludovic Courtès <l...@gnu.org> Mon, 11 Sep 2023 16:23:42 +0200 id:cover.1694441830.git.l...@gnu.org https://issues.guix.gnu.org//65866 https://issues.guix.gnu.org/msgid/cover.1694441830.git.l...@gnu.org https://yhetil.org/guix/cover.1694441830.git.l...@gnu.org
