The size of the crates can be reduced by excluding the
tests
folder and theGir.toml
,docs.md
andversions.txt
files from being published to crates.io.The size could be reduced even more by excluding the LICENSE and COPYRIGHT files but I did not do that.
The
sys
folders do not need to be excluded. Apparently cargo is smart enough to recognize that they are independent crates. Thegir-files
folder also does not need to be excluded, because it is one level higher than the crates so cargo does not try to include it anyways.You can see which files will be included without publishing the crates by running
cargo package --list
.
