By my calculations, the sum of the sizes of the individual isopackets was
152MB, and the size of the combined isopacket is now just 36MB. That
remarkable difference goes to show how much duplication of transitive
dependencies was happening before this change.
That's a savings of 116MB for the (uncompressed) size of the meteor-tool
package. In Meteor 1.5.x, the meteor-tool package is about 544MB, but in
Meteor 1.6 it's considerably smaller: 373MB. In other words, this change
should reduce those sizes to 428MB (-21%) and 257MB (-31%), respectively.
It's very useful to be able to include code only in production. It's
useful for React integration, but presumably also for many apps.
* Add prodOnly boolean flag alongside debugOnly in Package.describe
* Packages the set prodOnly to true auto-depend on isobuild:prod-only
(making them error in the old tool where prodOnly isn't supported)
* The `includeDebug` boolean build option is replaced by a string
named buildMode, which can be 'development' or 'production', just
like minifyMode.
Tested by self-test.
