For docker containers, or containers, which don't want systemd, the current "Requires: systemd" in a lot of packages is preventing building a minimal image.
To improve the situation, we could make use of the new rpm weak dependencies. So the Requires(post): systemd Requires(preun): systemd Requires(postun): systemd would become Recommends: systemd OrderWithRequires(post): systemd OrderWithRequires(preun): systemd OrderWithRequires(postun): systemd With this in place, kickstart files could omit systemd. The downside is: - if systemd is installed afterwards, the %post scripts do not trigger - packages, which need systemd-tmpfiles or systemd-sysusers could not be converted If systemd is removed before the other packages, I don't see a problem. There are only leftovers in /etc/systemd. To prevent having a non-bootable system (not container), we could let the kernel.spec have a Requires on systemd. Comments?
