Description Harald Hoyer 2016-04-01 12:25:54 UTC
Please try to get rid of openssl-libs.

We are trying to minimize the base container image size and openssl-libs pulls in a lot of deps:

coreutils could use its own sha* implementations or even use libgcrypt.

Thanks!

Have you tried to use the coreutils-single package instead of coreutils?

> Have you tried to use the coreutils-single package instead of coreutils?

oh nice hint! :-) indeed

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2016-04-01 13:30:04 UTC
still, why does coreutils link against openssl and coreutils-single does not?

Comment 4 Kamil Dudka 2016-04-01 13:44:04 UTC
I guess that coreutils-single is intended for installations where size matters whereas coreutils is intended for installations where the speed of sha*sum tools matters.

Comment 5 Ondrej Vasik 2016-04-01 14:09:49 UTC
Thanks Kamil for all the comments. I tend to close this NOTABUG - where size matters, coreutils-single is way to go. Elsewhere, coreutils with openssl is faster - and therefore better as default.
