[bug#73242] [PATCH] gnu: guile-static-initrd: Remove (sxml) module hierarchy.

[Tobias Geerinckx-Rice via Guix-patches via]

If anything is ‘useless in an initrd’ it better be XML support.  As of
Guile 3.0.9, removing it saves 1418K bytes uncompressed, or 3% of the
total static Guile size.

* gnu/packages/make-bootstrap.scm (%guile-static-initrd): Remove sxml/.

I do not know why I am in cc, having no particular knowledge of initrds;
but indeed I find your argument convincing, assuming you have tested to
boot into the resulting system.

Because you foolishly volunteered for the 'core packages' team covering (gnu packages make-bootstrap).  :-)

Since you bring it up: no, %guile-static-initrd doesn't particularly belong there.  It's there only to keep MAKE-GUILE-STATIC-STRIPPED private.

In fact I'd move it to (gnu system linux-initrd) if I choose to rewrite it to opt into modules rather than out of them.  That saves more than a few megabytes more, and boots fine, at the expense of not having them available at the 'early boot REPL'.

I'll see.

The patch was sent from one.  Thanks!



Kind regards,
