I agree with Peter. The "Recommends:" will ensure tzdata is installed by default. This work lines up exactly with the Fedora Weak Dependencies Policy: "Weak dependencies allow smaller minimal installations while keeping the default installation feature rich." Can we allow users to create a minimal installation by hand, while still complying with PEP-615 for default installs? The size savings for a minimal container that is UTC-only would be quite valuable for Fedora minimal containers. -- Cheers, Carlos. _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
