Package: vmdb2
Version: 0.22-1
Severity: wishlist
I'm building a rock64 image using vmdb2, and I need to pull in
the u-boot-rockchip package for some prebuilt u-boot images. That
package has a Recommends on python3, which results in 300MB of bloat to
my install image AND python3-minimal is segfaulting.
Obviously the segfault is a separate problem, but the bloat is also an
issue. It would be nice if there was a way to tell vmdb2 not to install
recommends in the apt step.
Here's what I'm currently doing to work around it in the .yaml file:
- apt: install
packages:
- ssh
- parted
- dosfstools
- linux-image-arm64
- grub-efi-arm64
#- u-boot-rockchip
tag: /
unless: rootfs_unpacked
# u-boot-rockchip recommends python3, which bloats the image by 300MB
# *and* causes a segfault in python3-minimal (something in
# py3compile?).
- chroot: /
shell: |
apt-get install --no-install-recommends u-boot-rockchip
unless: rootfs_unpacked
