That's a good start, but I think it could be (usefully) refined.
Here is an example taxonomy:
|
+- Minimal Container (enough for chroot or entering into shell in container)
|
+- Minimal Build Container (Minimal Container + <build-essentials>)
|
+- Minimal Bootable Container (Minimal Container + systemd)
|
+- Minimal OS VM (Minimal Bootable Container + kernel + boot-loader)
|
+- Minimal OS Metal (Minimal OS VM + udev + <hardware-related-packages?>)
Sounds reasonable?
* Should we assign '@<tag>' for each of these combinations?
* What about <hardware-related-packages>? (x86*, arm*)
* What about some <build-essentials> package (similar to Debian)
so there's a centralized definition for all implicit build
dependencies (gcc, make, etc.) which should not be specified in "Build-Requires".
* Other categories? Something that breaks this taxonomy?
Thanks,
