The first complete build produced a 4.3 GB tarball. Modules/ alone was 7 GB
staged, because it contained the same packages twice:
Modules/binary_pkgs 4.5 GB content-addressed, deduplicated, placed
there by ninja install
Modules/*.JASPModule 2.5 GB the same packages again, as per-module
compressed archives, copied by this script
binary_pkgs is the installed form and holds 677 package directories, with
Rcpp, ggplot2 and the rest of the shared base appearing once rather than
once per module. The .JASPModule files are the distribution form used for
on-demand downloads and are redundant next to it.
Dropping them, and the build toolchain removed in the previous commit, takes
the tarball from 4.3 GB to 1.86 GB - the same order as the Flatpak's 1.4 GB
rather than three times over.
Still unverified: that JASP runs from binary_pkgs alone. It is upstream's own
install output, so it should, but nothing has been executed yet.
