Hi all,

The Container SIG has been busy in the last few weeks working on
getting the Fedora container base image smaller (It was growing over
300MB). While a few minor changes [0-1] have recently landed in the
fedora:latest and fedora:rawhide images.

Last couple days a bigger change [2] have been introduced in the
fedora:rawhide image. This change drops all the weak dependencies from
the base image which allowed us to have a smaller base image (215MB).

Currently the plan is to keep this change in fedora:rawhide and wait
for Fedora 31 GA to propagate to the change to the fedora:latest
image. If you are currently using the fedora:latest image I would
encourage you to give a try using
registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora:rawhide as a base image since you
might need to adjust your Dockerfile if you were depending on some of
the weak dependencies.

If you think that a package should be added or removed from the base
image please file a ticket to the Container SIG tracker [3].

Also if you are interested to help improve the Fedora Container base
image in general you can join the Container SIG [4].

Thanks and Happy Containerization,
Clément
