There is a PoC that worked for me, althoug might need some changes (I didn't put much thinking into which files the envsubst binary actually really needs from the gettext package): https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gettext/pull-request/14 Another way looking at it could be separating out tools from the gettext main package, which is rather a larger chunk. We had some ideas around https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gettext/pull-request/7 This will reduce the footprint, and envsubst may continue a part of gettext main package. How do you feel Honza? I like the idea of splitting the tools. Still, when trying this change, I still see the size difference being 8MB (uncompressed installed files). So, it's quite far from the option of having just envsubst without anything else. gettext split PR: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gettext/pull-request/15 scratch build repo: https://fedora.softwarefactory-project.io/logs/15/15/8e84a29c75f635efaa363ab14bebabf7e0fc30f2/check/rpm-scratch-build/734ab04/repo/ After the split, envsubst binary would be a part of gettext (main) package. I take a re-look and find following: gettext package -------------------- compressed size: 172 kB uncompressed size: 749.6 kB gettext-tools subpackage ------------------------ compressed size: 1.0 MB uncompressed size: 4.7 MB As gettext depends on gettext-libs: gettext-libs subpackage ----------------------- compressed size: 322K uncompressed size: 933.7 kB so, total uncompressed size for envsubst would be 1413.3 kB Considering that envsubst doesn't depend on gettext-libs, maybe it does make sense to subpackage separately (so then gettext-runtime would requires it). (Admittedly I have never actually used envsubst myself. :) This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 37 development cycle. Changing version to 37. Changes have been merged and built in rawhide: gettext-0.21-18.fc38.0.20220203 PR https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gettext/pull-request/19 Copr https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/suanand/envsubst/ Koji https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=90907290 Thanks a lot, this change looks good, nothing else is installed when pulling in gettext-envsubst. I'm closing the original PR. FEDORA-2022-a8cde2a93d has been submitted as an update to Fedora 36. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-a8cde2a93d FEDORA-2022-a8cde2a93d has been pushed to the Fedora 36 testing repository. Soon you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --refresh --advisory=FEDORA-2022-a8cde2a93d` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-a8cde2a93d See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates. |
