I'm on vacation and a few days behind on email, sorry. >>>>> "ZJ" == Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek <zbyszek@xxxxxxxxx> writes: ZJ> Also, there are still some obvious packages to trim: I wonder if the rpm dependency on curl (the executable, not the library) is strictly necessary. I believe it's only because of the %__urlhelpercmd macro. Are rpm remote file operations considered to be mandatory functionality? It would be nice if we could get by without requiring openldap and krb5-libs but I suspect we'd have to be Gentoo to reach that level of minimization. It would also be nice to see libdb excised, but it's still a core requirement for rpm. The only other things that need it are cyrus-sasl and pam, both of which would do without it with some additional subpackage splitting, I think. It's interesting that gawk is only there because of krb5-libs, but I don't see why. Nothing in that package seems to call awk. That's about 3.5MB. Is tar considered mandatory? Nothing appears to depend on it, and its 3MB.... ZJ> Also, there's a bunch of -devel packages? What pulls those in?

Seems that's already been fixed. - J< _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
