Hi Tom,
Tom Hiller <thrilleratplay@gmail.com> skribis:
I am using it with pack and the minimal requirement the size down but
also prevents a large number of dependencies from being pulled in when
building from source.
The latter is true and makes sense to me, but note that both take about
the same amount of space:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix size $(guix build -e '(@@ (gnu packages cmake) cmake-minimal)')|tail -1
total: 215.1 MiB
$ guix size cmake | tail -1
total: 217.8 MiB
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
The two are functionally equivalent (same run-time dependencies), which
I guess is the reason why ‘cmake-minimal’ isn’t public, unlike other
“-minimal” variants.
