Hi everyone,
I've spent some time trying to minimize the footprint of the Fedora docker base image. Overall, I managed to reduce its size by 39.9%.
A summary of the work I did can be found here: https://gist.github.com/iamcourtney/1a4af7c4289014f57080
If you're interested, you can find a more detailed version of the above work here: https://gist.github.com/iamcourtney/b8709ed897b7ecc9ac0f
May be a dumb question...
If we're excluding DNF, RPM, etc. for a slimmer base image during runtime, how are we describing the best practices for build? Is the intention that you should always be pulling in a separate tool container to assist with the build process?

I have no problem removing dnf, but removing rpm is going to far. For now we still need rpm for looking at the contents of a container. While external rpm would probably work, I don't think we are redy for this, nor is the benefit enough.
