Anyway the basic idea remains, we need something to define a very basic run time environment which all packages (but some bootstraping ones like glibc/setup/filesystem) may assume existing to not bloat the dependencies. Perhaps that's just coreutils and its dependencies, perhaps more. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
