Most of the packages in the buildroot are libraries, pulled in via
dependencies.
@buildsys-build group is:
Mandatory packages : bash # basic shell env
: bzip2 # source extraction
: coreutils # basic shell env
: cpio # source extraction
: diffutils # source extraction
: fedora-release-common # rpm environment
: findutils # basic shell env
: gawk # basic shell env
: glibc-minimal-langpack # we want this to avoid other
langpacks
: grep # basic shell env
: gzip # source extraction
: info
: patch # source extraction
: redhat-rpm-config # rpm environment
: rpm-build # rpm environment
: sed # basic shell env
: shadow-utils
: tar # source extraction
: unzip # source extraction
: util-linux # basic shell env
: which # basic shell env. (command -v is more
portable, but meh.)
: xz # source extraction
Out of this list, I see only three candidates for removal:
1. info. This is presumably present for /usr/sbin/install-info.
It's a small package (360kB) and probably not worth the hassle to
remove. On my system, 472 rpms provide info files, and if we remove
it from the default set, we'd need to patch a huge amount of
packages to add it back to make the builds work.
2. util-linux. This could be replaced by util-linux-core. This
has a bunch of deps too, so it'd save some. util-linux has 95
binaries, and while _most_ of them have little use in a constrained
build environment, probably a few are used somewhere. So this
would need some investigation.
3. shadow-utils. It was added in:
commit 79e1728c1b9e9e98d2e38b1286d90d596f233a56

Make sure shadow-utils makes it into a buildroot, or else mock will fail
It's been a while, and I doubt we actually need it. Maybe we could
drop that?
