Apt's library dependencies are a lie if you look just at /usr/bin/apt, as it relies very heavily on subprocessing for core functionality. You'd need to check and add the dependencies of the helper binaries that are required for apt functionality. Last I checked with 1.9.10, it's fairly comparable. > Are there plans for picodnf then?

Micro DNF is in C (using glib/gobject) today and would be in C++ in the future. The transition from C to C++ will allow the GNOME library ecosystem to be fully dropped as a dependency from the DNF stack. That is substantial baggage that will finally go away. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ 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
