Slim down Mono runtime to reduce slug size and build time #2

Closed mrdavidlaing closed 10 years ago

mrdavidlaing commented 10 years ago

@friism - would you be interested in collaborating on building a "slimmed down PAAS version" of mono with me?

I'm focussing on running Mono apps on Cloud Foundry, and currently build mono using https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/builder-mono

Currently, I can't get it much below 60MB, which still feels too big.

One of the tricks I'm thinking of trying is to not compile the < .net 4 stuff, and only include the .net 4.5+ stuff.

@mrdavidlaing 60MB is still an achievement, I think mine are around 100MB. I looked at your build-script, what made a dent in the size?

The biggest "space savers" were:

Now running with slimmed down Mono, closing.

@friism - did you manage to get 3.2.6 compiling?

Aha! - http://friism.com/building-heroku-buildpack-binaries-with-docker

Sweet. I shall be using https://github.com/friism/mono-builder and https://github.com/friism/xsp-builder going forward!

@mrdavidlaing I found 3.2.6 un-buildable, but 3.2.8 is fine.

You prolly need to tweak the bucket name and maybe the /app stuff, but other than that, you'd be fine.
