I was told in #guix that the QT tarball is 300 megabytes and includes a bundled copy of chromium?? o_O

Dystopian packaging, not just for javascript?

What the hell?!

That's a shame, because I rather like Qt for what it is.

The git pre-compiled package is over 100 MB.

As was said above, Qt is very modular. If you put all the modules together, they might be 300 MiB... so what?

would the chromimum be included as an example of using webkit?
