The curl and libcurl packages, which are both required by dnf, have a lot of
run-time dependencies. I propose to maintain curl-minimal and libcurl-minimal
subpackages obtained from a conservatively configured build of curl, resulting
in a significant reduction of their run-time dependencies.
These curl-minimal and libcurl-minimal packages can be installed as a
replacement
of curl and libcurl packages, respectively, to reduce the footprint of a minimal
Fedora installation.
A proof of concept is available in the private-kdudka-libcurl-minimal branch:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/curl.git/log/?h=private-kdudka-libcurl-minimal
I have also prepared Copr repositories for f24 and rawhide:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/kdudka/curl-minimal/
Any feedback is welcome!
