Prerequisites
Steps to reproduce
We install PowerShell nupkgs in the official .NET 8.0 Preview SDK images for Alpine Linux. With the upgrade to PowerShell 7.4.0-preview.5, we noticed significant increase in the PowerShell installation size.
We download the nupkg from https://pwshtool.blob.core.windows.net/tool/7.4.0-preview.5/PowerShell.Linux.Alpine.7.4.0-preview.5.nupkg
Here's a size comparison between the installation directories before and after the preview.5 update:
PS C:\sources> docker run --entrypoint /bin/sh --rm mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/nightly/sdk:8.0.100-rc.1-alpine3.18-amd64 -c "du -hs /usr/share/powershell"
85.4M /usr/share/powershell
PS C:\sources> docker run --entrypoint /bin/sh --rm mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/nightly/sdk@sha256:db13f9a424d5f24155db7b0bcd8fa159afad9df7f520f830b57bce9f94757f6a -c "du -hs /usr/share/powershell"
40.3M /usr/share/powershell
I downloaded the following nupkgs and checked their sizes to make sure it wasn't an incorrect installation that increased the size:
https://pwshtool.blob.core.windows.net/tool/7.4.0-preview.3/PowerShell.Linux.x64.7.4.0-preview.3.nupkg
=> 13.65M
https://pwshtool.blob.core.windows.net/tool/7.4.0-preview.3/PowerShell.Linux.Alpine.7.4.0-preview.3.nupkg
=> 13.66M
https://pwshtool.blob.core.windows.net/tool/7.4.0-preview.5/PowerShell.Linux.x64.7.4.0-preview.5.nupkg
=> 15.42M
https://pwshtool.blob.core.windows.net/tool/7.4.0-preview.5/PowerShell.Linux.Alpine.7.4.0-preview.5.nupkg
=> 33.86M
I also looked in the installation to see if there were any out-of-place files. Here are the 20 biggest files in the new vs. old installations. Notably, many of the files that are similar between each release have grown in size. Maybe debug symbols are included in the musl build?:
