Many thanks for clarifying the bundling of 3rd party binaries.

I will make sure to include those. Also CC’ing Dave Dykstra who maintains the apptainer package I referenced earlier in my original email. As I understand it, he will need to add the Provides for the binaries currently bundled (without corresponding Provides) in the apptainer packaging.

This will be the case. The 3rd party binaries are built from source within the SingularityCE build.

This is also the case. The binaries are installed into a specific libexec dir.
