Does anyone know why the combined size of the rustc+rust-std components jumped by about 100MB on the 2019-07-08 nightly?
2019-07-07: rustc 86.3M, rust-std 62.1M
2019-07-08: rustc 65.6M, rust-std 171.0M
I'm not concerned that much about download sizes, but such a big change usually indicates a failure in the build process, such as intermediate artifacts getting included.
I believe it's due to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/59800, which changed a load of the internal rustc libraries from dylibs to rlibs. There's some reasoning for it in this comment by Alex Crichton.
Ah, and it's already tracked in The total Rust archive size has intensified recently · Issue #62486 · rust-lang/rust · GitHub. Thanks!
