78MB hugo binary is full of paths and urls

[berthubert]

Hi, many thanks for Hugo (hugo v0.125.2-4e483f5d4abae136c4312d397a55e9e1d39148df linux/amd64 BuildDate=2024-04-20T15:29:44Z VendorInfo=gohugoio)

I just checked the binary version I downloaded from github, and it is huge. Furthermore, it contains 42181 github.com urls and thousands of long paths.

I wonder if "strip" is finding everything it needs to in the hugo binary release. Running strip myself does not decrease the binary size.

$ du -h hugo
79M	hugo
$ strings -a -n 10 hugo  | grep -c github
42181
$ strings -a -n 10 hugo  | grep -c /root/
2412
$ strings -a -n 10 hugo  | grep -c /usr/local/
794

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

It stores the dependency information which I guess can explain some of the bove.
