Reduce packaged crate size by 5kb using cargo diet -r

[Byron]

It converted excludes into includes, removing the following files
from the package.

Since this solely optimizes for size, I am happy to make the necessary adjustments to add other files back that you want to be part of the package.

I feel like COPYRIGHT should be included as well. Removing the other files seems reasonable to me.

[dhardy]

What about Cargo.toml itself; is this implicitly included? Yes (according to doc).

Then this looks good to me.

Could you do the same for rand_distr please (this has benches too)?

[Byron]

Thanks for the hint, it's done for rand_distr as well.

[dhardy]

Shouldn't we just match src here?

[Byron]

Sounds good! I have made it 'src/' which has the same effect but makes clearer that it's a directory.
If that's not alright, please let me know and I will make it src as originally requested.

[dhardy]

Thanks!

[Byron]

Thank you! Now we are at 35 million downloads all time, and when 70 million are reached, this change will have saved roughly 35 million * 5kb = 175gigabytes of downstream bandwidth. That must count for something :).

[dhardy]

Well, not quite — it takes a while to get a new version out, and even longer to get everyone updated.
