It could be TRT with the current dependencies, but might lose in the long run. E.g., suppose someone decides to add GNU Findutils to the bundle. > + 'share/doc/*', # No documentation from libraries > + 'share/gtk-doc/*', > + 'share/man/*', > + 'share/info/*', Questionable. Why deprive the users from being able to read the docs of the dependencies? Some of that could be very relevant. E.g., what about the docs of bzip2.exe, xz.exe, etc.? they might come in handy for setting up all kinds of *-switches defcustoms. > + 'bin/fc-*.exe', # No font configuration tools If some dependency is configured to access fonts via Fontconfig (is it HarfBuzz?), then this is a mistake, because some of those utilities are needed to maintain the font cache. Thanks.
