@GuilloteauQ On #Guix side, it's a bit different:
$ guix size cwltool | grep total:
total: 560.0 MiB
$ guix size snakemake | grep total:
total: 969.1 MiB
$ guix size make | grep total:
total: 136.5 MiB

@zimoun Nice insight! I somehow didnt think that there would be much difference between nix and guix package sizes !
Would be interesting to understand why exactly it's different...
Is it simply because they do not the same "default" options of build ? (e.g., the guile support in gnumake is not by default in nix, and you need to write a bit of (easy) nix code to make it work)
@GuilloteauQ @zimoun ‘guix size snakemake’ shows pandas, botocore, and no less than 3 python variants. 😱 And git-minimal for good measure.
I’m guessing these should be build-time-only dependencies but end up here due to ‘pyproject-build-system’ being too generous?

@civodul Please note that ’make’ also shows no less than 3 bash variants (two bash-minimal and one bash-static). 🤔
@civodul @GuilloteauQ @zimoun https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/issues/4782 let's discuss 😉 it was fascinating me as well
@GuilloteauQ And two bugs:
$ guix size cwltool | head -5
/gnu/store/h2q…-python-minimal-3.11.14 200.6 113.5 20.3%
/gnu/store/pv5…-python-3.11.14 205.8 106.7 19.0%
/gnu/store/klz…-python-3.11.14 160.9 61.7 11.0%
/gnu/store/…-glibc-2.41 41.0 39.2 7.0%
(1) python and python-minimal therefore python-minimal isn’t required since already included in python.
( And that’s the same for Snakemake. )
(2) python appears twice.
Therefore, the closure is larger than strictly required.

@GuilloteauQ And another fun thing:
$ guix size make

Guile is the bigger for Make! 😁
