dont-package-helix-grammar-sources #1469

Closed snltd closed 4 months ago

Omit the grammar sources from the Helix package. This removes the better part of 20,000 small files from the package, none of which are not required to run Helix.

Homebrew already do this and it is recommended by the Helix devs.

The instructions for building from source should mention this. I copied the runtime folder to ~/.config/helix/ instead of linking it, so I ended up with 2.8GB of files that I do not need to run helix. It's not obvious to all that the runtime/sources folder can be removed. Considering the process for building from source has been made so easy, it would be worthwhile to consider that someone who has never built anything from source could be the audience of those instructions.. and would benefit from knowing that the sources folder can be removed after the build process is done.
