I want to prune all the developer-centric stuff (e.g., clouseau:inspector, which in turn, brings in McCLIM, maybe some formatted I/O) from my CL software when I package it as a dumped SBCL image (vs delivering source). Would also like to change the optimize directives (debug, speed, etc.).
What are the best practices? My Googling didn't turn up much. Or am I thinking about this in entirely the wrong way?
1- Whether using bazel or asdf, have a build script that does it all for you, repeatably. If using ASDF, be sure to have separate ASDF_OUTPUT_TRANSLATIONS for that build as compared to the usual build.
2- Run tests from the production image, even if that means running twice. But don't run them in the production environment!
3- The quux tarball on qitab shows what infrastructure ITA used to use in QRes. The bazelisp repository shows what infrastructure Google uses in QPX.
4- Either bazel or a recent CFFI + ASDF will help you deliver single-file applications with custom libraries statically linked into the image.
