the go archive size must be smaller？

[yangw...@gmail.com]

This diagram is the archive size of the go release package.

What's this in those increase package size ?

Maybe we can reduce the archive size in future.

I think something unfortunate happened to your diagram. On Gmail, I see an <img> tag with a huge amount of base64 encoded text, and on Google Groups I don't see anything at all. It may work better to upload the image to a hosting service like Imgur and link to it.

Note that progress for reducing binary size is tracked under this issue: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/6853

[yangw...@gmail.com]

This issue is only the binary file, I said is go archive size .

Such as go1.14.6.darwin-amd64.tar.gz or go1.14.5.darwin-amd64.tar.gz's size etc.

What are you asking for?

1. GZip to compress more completely?

2. Use of different compression tools? (Zstd?)

3. Go to output binaries that are more compression friendly?

4. The Go binaries to just be smaller?

:

If you are specific, you will get specific answers.

You are asking about the size of the archived go distributions, NOT about the size of programs built with go, correct?

[yangw...@gmail.com]

Yes, I'm asking about the size of the archived go distributions.

Thanks. Now that we understand that, what is your question?

The size of the archived go distributions is growing in newer go release.

My question:

What are the main contents of these additions? Can the size of the archived go distributions be reduced?

The Go 1 compatibility guarantee (https://golang.org/doc/go1compat)
pretty much guarantees that every new release will be larger. It's
hard for us to get rid of existing code.

Although the size is increasing the increase does not seem all that
big, and the file size doesn't seem particularly large by modern
standards. Is this causing a problem somewhere?

Thanks.

Ian
