[Bug]: Growing asset size about dd-trace-php HOT 4 CLOSED

TIL about datadog-setup.php. We've written our install script long before that installer was documented in DataDog/documentation@d3a4d08, so I guess that is the root cause. We should work on switching to it. Closing, then.

Hey @greg0ire,

these files are the individual compiled artifacts for nts, debug, zts and alpine+nts on PHP 7.0 to 8.3.
So, many versions plus many targets equals many megabytes :-/

We also recently added rust to our codebase, which led to the files getting bigger.

You generally just need exactly one of all these files, but we're providing them all for all the different configurations of PHP existing.

Ok , we've found a workaround so feel free to close this, unless you think it might be worth working on producing several distinct packages, for instance one per PHP version

Can you speak a bit more directly to what your concern was? The datadog-setup.php script will download a tar package based on the platform it's on, and install the relevant pieces, and not keep the downloaded files around. So the final size on disk contains only what it needs. Now, in the interim, it does download and extract an archive that is growing over time, so there's definitely room for improvement. But any improvements should be made with more focused goals, so that's why I'm wondering what your concern was more specifically.
