[Nix-dev] ANN: closure-size hitting master

[Vladimír Čunát]

It's in master now! It seems to bring a few hundred build regressions,
but that shouldn't be a problem to resolve within several weeks.

The reductions seem large on some packages, but personally I was rather
disappointed by the fact that my desktop has only seen a negligible
reduction as a result of closure-size changes - for almost every pruned
dependency I have some package that still holds it back, typically some
KDE app or similarly heavy stuff.

For example, the texlive change had more impact on me in this respect,
as depending on TeX stuff is rather seldom and mostly through executing
TeX utilities.
