[MacRuby-devel] smaller macruby apps?

[Gary Weaver]

In the MacRuby tutorial ( 
http://www.macruby.org/documentation/tutorial.html ) there is a brief 
section about Embedding MacRuby in Your Application, and when you use 
HotCocoa's macrake deploy, it includes the framework also. However, the 
smallest resulting app in MacRuby 0.5/HotCocoa 0.5.1 is roughly 150MB in 
size, which is much, much larger than the average small application on a 
Mac.

Isaac Kearse noted a way to get around this in his post "Packaging A 
HotCocoa Application" ( 
http://isaac.kearse.co.nz/2010/02/01/packaging-hotcocoa/ ). I was just 
thinking, it would be nice if the same or similar method could be added 
to HotCocoa's deploy and/or possibly documented in the MacRuby tutorial 
as an alternative?

Thanks!
