[PATCH 0/5] Reducing system size: locales and initrd |
|
Date: |
Mon, 8 Apr 2024 16:22:38 +0200 |
Hello Guix,
I noticed¹ that ‘bare-bones.tmpl’ now leads to instances around
1.5 GiB, which I think is totally unreasonable, to say the least.
This patch series does the easy changes to get it to ~1.1 GiB,
which is still unreasonable, but at least should allow our installation
tests to run without having to increase the disk size again.
Thoughts?
The next but more difficult steps will be stripping Guix and Linux:

Hi Florian,
I pushed this series as 5f89f45e7465ebbdc84c925ea3cfaec5dd06ed88,
following the two suggestions you made:
• Dropping the controversial patch that changed whether the system
locale would be include.
• Dropping two “redundant” locales and adding two Portuguese locales
to the default set.
Thanks again!
Ludo’.
