Dockerfile-based multi-stage builds are significantly more popular than this and should really be mentioned first. I'm not saying `buildah` is bad, but...what you're talking about here also encourages using the host as a build root which has various negatives. And I think the main conversation to have is whether we should introduce something more like https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless that basically just has: - glibc - ca-certificates Or to rephrase, a sufficient runtime for e.g. a Rust/golang binary and that's it. (While people often say both Rust and golang are statically linked, that's true of the language code, but by default Rust links to glibc, Go does not, and I think what Rust does is better and should be encouraged, so we want a libc in this "ultramin" container) _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org 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@lists.fedoraproject.org
