Linux builds are incredibly large about nwjs-builder HOT 7 CLOSED

@rstacruz ahuh, what options are you using? Did you try --production or --side-by-side option? Do you know who is occupying most of the space?

from nwjs-builder.

ahh, i'll have to try those! what's side-by-side?

from nwjs-builder.

--side-by-side means not to combine the application package to the executable (that copy /b nw+app.nw app step).
From #47, I assume you are running nwjs-builder directly in your project root, which will no doubt include every file in that directory.
You might want to read Development section which I have explained why there isn't an excluding option.
Most of the time you might be using some compilers/transpilers to transform the source code and have a lot of dependencies only used in development stage, along with tests and scripts. They are not going to be packaged when doing a release.
So my suggestion is filling release files to a directory and using nwjs-builder to pack that directory. So there is no excluding needed :)

Ahhh, right. My app uses no transpilation (node.js 6 supports most of es6
anyway), so I was pretty concerned about that!

Any hints on how to do that? Will I need 2 package.json's?

node.js 6.x is cool :)
nwjs-builder used to require extra flags like --harmony-destructuring to work on node.js 4.x/5.x, and doesn't support legacy versions. But after publishing there were complaints for it and I started to use babel :)

@rstacruz No. You can write a build.sh (or any other task runners) which copies every file you want to include (like package.json) to a separate directory and call nwjs-builder to make a bundle of it.
