#45 Proposal to remove util-linux from the base image
Opened by cverna. Modified

Open
Close Issue

The fedora base image currently ships with the util-linux package which is 12MB installed. The package contains quite a few binary which I think are not useful in general use cases for our container image.

See https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/util-linux/blob/master/f/util-linux.spec#_83

I think we should consider removing that package from the base image. Thoughts ?

Made the Change proposal for F35 : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SmallerContainerBase
