Description

I looked at this more closely this morning. The extra packages are entirely because we are using "autopart" for partitioning in the kickstart file. I was able to do a scratch build of the base image using "autopart --nolvm" in the kickstart file and it removes the packages listed. You can see this here: [root@ibm-p8-kvm-05-guest-09 ~]# docker pull brew-pulp-docker01.web.prod.ext.phx2.redhat.com:8888/rhel7-ppc64le:none-20170711082034 Trying to pull repository brew-pulp-docker01.web.prod.ext.phx2.redhat.com:8888/rhel7-ppc64le ... none-20170711082034: Pulling from brew-pulp-docker01.web.prod.ext.phx2.redhat.com:8888/rhel7-ppc64le 409c608d670b: Pull complete 2de41c99ce1d: Pull complete Digest: sha256:6211c0ee991fa30dddf0edf74e2bb013375d688fc1f6c69cfc65c4fc0e68c975 [root@ibm-p8-kvm-05-guest-09 ~]# docker run -it 6c4a4d1d12d9 /bin/bash [root@e619fa54e8d1 /]# rpm -qa | grep lvm [root@e619fa54e8d1 /]# rpm -qa | grep device-mapper device-mapper-1.02.140-8.el7.ppc64le device-mapper-libs-1.02.140-8.el7.ppc64le [root@e619fa54e8d1 /]# rpm -qa | grep libaio [root@e619fa54e8d1 /]# The full difference between this scratch build and the latest x86_64 base image is now this: [jwboyer@x1 ~]$ diff -Nup x86.list ppc64le.list --- x86.list 2017-07-11 09:37:43.695278510 -0400 +++ ppc64le.list 2017-07-11 09:37:29.880351119 -0400 @@ -20,7 +20,6 @@ dbus-python-1.1.1-9.el7 device-mapper-1.02.140-8.el7 device-mapper-libs-1.02.140-8.el7 diffutils-3.3-4.el7 -dmidecode-3.0-5.el7 dracut-033-502.el7 elfutils-default-yama-scope-0.168-8.el7.noarch elfutils-libelf-0.168-8.el7 @@ -119,7 +118,6 @@ python-rhsm-1.19.9-1.el7 python-rhsm-certificates-1.19.9-1.el7 python-urlgrabber-3.10-8.el7.noarch pyxattr-0.5.1-5.el7 -qemu-guest-agent-2.8.0-2.el7 qrencode-libs-3.4.1-3.el7 readline-6.2-10.el7 redhat-release-server-7.4-18.el7 [jwboyer@x1 ~]$ Both packages missing in the ppc64le container are x86_64 only for now, so that is expected.
