Update
Now that we have all the released crates copied locally we can analyze them. The MSRV stats last week were already using that data. The code needed some cleanup to easily accommodate more data, but now we can already collect data from all the files in a released crates. One such aspect was total size of the crates. The result quite surprised me.
Sponsoring
If you like the work that is being done on the Rust Digger project, please consider financially supporting it to at offset the incurred expenses.The biggest crates
This table was taken from the biggest crates report. The biggest crate is 450 MB of source code! The 100 biggest crates all weight more than 50 MB in source code. Compared to that the Rust Digger uses about 400K and about 60% of that is just HTML.
I'll have to look more deeply into what is taking up so much space and also to see "smaller" crates that are still more than 10 MB.
