Hi Tomáš!

Tomáš Čech <sleep_walker <at> gnu.org> skribis:

>   flags.

I think it’s a good idea, but it’s taking a lot of extra space:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix size bitlbee |tail -1
total: 176.5 MiB
$ guix size bitlbee pidgin |tail -1
total: 668.0 MiB
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What about adding a “lib” output to Pidgin?  BitlBee would depend on
that rather than on the whole Pidgin.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
