suggestion: why build only debug and not release?

[cremesk]

hi, a suggestion... could we please build the plugin as a "release"?

I am building for a shared user system so am concerned with size and performance for the users who do not need debug.

the different is the plugin is so much small with cargo build --release. (more then 300M!)

cargo build:

12:19:40 [email protected] ~/ la /home/creme/.weechat/plugins
.rw-r--r-- 338M creme envs 24 Jul 10:10 matrix.so

and cargo build --release:

15:24:14 [email protected] ~/ la /home/creme/.weechat/plugins
.rw-r--r-- 25M creme envs 24 Jul 13:24 matrix.so

We aren't building the plugin anywhere? Users can chose how they would like to build it.

Well we are now with every push, but that indeed uses release mode.

it is not built anywhere but in the readme.md i only read about a cargo build.

for someone who is not compliant with this it is not obvious that there is a release mode.

I guess we can switch the README to tell people to build using --release.

i think it would be convenient for the "default" user.

you can create a part. "Development" in the readme where the debug mode is used for building. but i guess developers already know that.
