Description Colin Walters 2018-07-23 18:53:31 UTC

For [Fedora CoreOS](https://coreos.fedoraproject.org/) we'd like to avoid shipping Python in the base OS.  Today nfs-utils shows up as one of the things we would like, but includes Python.

```
$ rpm -ql nfs-utils | grep bin/ | xargs grep bin/python
/usr/sbin/mountstats:#!/usr/bin/python3
/usr/sbin/nfsiostat:#!/usr/bin/python3
```

Options:

1) Split off nfs-utils-core with just the core things like /usr/sbin/mount.nfs, the services, etc.
2) Split off nfs-utils-extra with those two scripts

Something else?

Maybe just split off a -extra... leave nfs-utils name the same.

So you are taking about having a sub package (%package) 
of nfs-utils or a completely separate package?

I'd probably say sub-package but I really don't have a strong opinion.  Do you?  If you let us know which you prefer I think we could have someone from the CoreOS team do the work if that's OK by you.

I was thinking a sub package simpler to a -devel package... but
I don't know the packaging rules that surround things like that.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle.
Changing version to '29'.
