Description Jan Psota 2024-07-28 20:50:13 UTC 
Running out of disk space I removed 4GB third_party/rust-src (of 24GB) just after unpack. Chromium-127.0.6533.72 built fine. Maybe other parts of this dir could be deleted too? BASE_DISK could be lowered from actual 22.

Of course it would be even better to use tar --exclude= option.

Building chromium on a disk with limited space is going to end up being a game of of whack-a-mole. I would suggest getting yourself a bigger disk.

Hi Jan,

We use an unbundle script shipped with Chromium which means that we want/need to let the script remove things from the source tree rather than play whack-a-mole with untar arguments.

I suppose we could, hypothetically, tar up the directory after unbundling, but my internet connection isn't strong enough to support that as a regular workflow.
