Hi,
The current image has a size of 28.7MB (#20540).
Now execute this expression:
MCVersionInfo allInstances do: [ :each | each instVarNamed: 'ancestors' put: nil ].
save the image.
Result: 20MB
⦠this means that MC is wasting 8MB of memory with data that should live in the repository. And the problem is that is gets larger with every commitâ¦
The other offender is ScriptLoader. Unload that, do a #cleanUpForRelease
==> 15.6MB
Then .changes. Now it is at 32MB, plus 16MB sources.
We really need to condense the sources for 2.0⦠of course the problem is that it's broken (as it should be, because it is not tested).
Ah, and in general, we need to move to a more incremental process. Every mechanism that of the kind "We do this once before the release" is *WRONG*. Every commit needs to lead to a releasable artefact. Without *any* human intervention. Marcus
