Subject: | Emacs 26.1 on Windows is HUGE |
Date: | Mon, 15 Apr 2019 00:01:06 +0200 |
I thought it was time to update my version of Emacs on Windows. So I download emacs-26.1-x86_64-no-deps.zip package from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-26/. It is a whopping 109 mb and consumes 407 mb of space uncompressed. The emacs.exe file itself is 121 mb. In comparison the emacs 24.5 installation consumes 160 mb and emacs.exe itself 8 mb. I posit that there is something wrong with the way Emacs is packaged for Windows. Perhaps there is a more lightweight distribution? -- mvh/best regards Björn Lindqvist
