About the project

Game Boy emulator written in Python. Active for 5 years.

I don't expect releases to increase in size, but I hope to keep making new releases

How large is each release?

Because of the new musllinux wheel having a size of 30MB, a A release becomes around 450MB 150MB. I don't bundle anything outside of the PyBoy source code.

How frequently do you make a release?

Maybe 10-20 times a year.

Is it possible to quickly get the limit increased just slightly (500MB or more)? There's a fatal bug in the newest version that I cannot deploy a fix for.

[Baekalfen]

I've tried to shrink the binary size as much as I can, by removing .c files that are normally included. This possibly gives a 50% improvement.

EDIT:
Reduction was about 5MB per wheel. The size of the musllinux and manylinux wheels are now about 25MB each, and reducing it further is out of my control.

[Baekalfen]

Wheels are reduced to roughly 5MB, by removing debugging info. This impedes troubleshooting, but I need to deploy.

Still more issues creep up, and I've had to delete old versions of PyBoy on PyPi to deploy fixes. This is not optimal.

[Baekalfen]

I've updated the initial post. A release is now estimated at 100MB 150MB. This is about a handful of binary wheels for each of Windows, Mac and Linux to support the most recent versions of Python.

@di sorry to tag you, but this is causing a lot of issues for the project, and I was told you might be able to help

[Baekalfen]

@cmaureir I'm terribly sorry to bother you. I can see you've closed the last limit-request tickets.

I'm getting a little desperate with this. I'm getting a lot of complaints about my package being broken, and I've run out of options to fix it without deploying.
