Greetings testers,
Calling all package gurus and dependency junkies! The Fedora 11
MinimalPlatform feature [1] aims to provide a tiny installation package
set by identifying unwanted deps from @Core and related groups. As
described in the feature page, the benefits to Fedora include:
* Security - lower the attack surface by installing only necessary
packages
* Performance - faster installation and less running services
* Storage - installation is less than 500MB
There will also be several new tools available to help navigate
dependencies, including rpmreaper and rpm2comps.
Come join #fedora-qa this Tuesday, April 21 2009 to help put an end to
deps creep. Test cases and a Fedora live image will be available to aid
testing. Stay tuned for more details are available at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2009-04-21_Minimal_Platform.
Thanks,
James
