Hello everyone,
today we finally dropped gcc and gcc-c++ from the buildroot
<
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot>. This
made 12 packages go away along with 134MB installed size. This means that
you need to add gcc/gcc-c++ in the BuildRequires (guidelines stated this
for few years but not many were following them).
Also Mark fixed bug today which was pulling in systemd in the buildroot
which was pulling gnutls/libgcrypt/nettle and stuff like that. I don't have
exact numbers what we saved here.
But looking into simple package build for f28 and f29 I see some nice trend.
F28:
DEBUG util.py:439: Install 179 Packages
DEBUG util.py:439: Total download size: 146 M
DEBUG util.py:439: Installed size: 570 M
F29:
DEBUG util.py:439: Install 144 Packages
DEBUG util.py:439: Total download size: 87 M
DEBUG util.py:439: Installed size: 425 M

Thanks for attention!
