Just to make sure I'm reading the data correctly, your tests show a maximum approximate savings of 20 seconds going from the current buildroot to the minimal shell root? > Versus how long will it take to > either modify all these packages / write and run the script to do > that?

I don't think the original question was all that great. If we were to script the change to add the BRs, it would take time but it would mostly be a one-time cost. Reducing buildroot time creation, network bandwidth, and storage savings is a reduction over each new buildroot instance creation over a long period of time. And as you said, you could also wind up saving time for issues where the buildroot doesn't actually install because of broken packages (e.g. a broken perl dep or something). The question, as posed, wasn't really taking everything into account. That being said, 20 seconds isn't saving very much. The network bandwidth savings exists, but given that mock caches packages it isn't a savings for every build. The storage savings I'm not sure I really agree with because mock roots are transient things and you can delete them if you need to. You only wind up saving a few megabytes. I'm not sure this is compelling enough data at the moment. josh -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
