unit shouldn't require systemd
mu1f407 opened this issue · comments
Hi Remi,
I think that hard systemd dependency in the unit package is not necessary. Unit works well without it. It is mostly noticeable in container images. In my use case, in an image based on ubi9-minimal, the resulting image size is 109 MB (3 deps installed) without systemd (using fakeprovide package instead) vs 142 MB (25 deps installed) with systemd.
Probably the %{?systemd_requires} in spec file could be replaced with %{?systemd_ordering} as written in docs?
Thank you!
Will take a look
Notice: ubi*-minimal have lof ot issue, with PHP, especially missing tzdata, I usually don't recommend it
Fixed by https://git.remirepo.net/cgit/rpms/unit.git/commit/?id=bcbc4b9e504eaf36078cefda483d513a33cfb125
No change on EL-7 (cannot verify if RPM have expected flags)
New build (1.31.1-2) is now available in the repository
Thank you for quick update! Even though systemd is still pulled in through logrotate as dependency. My bad, I didn't checked carefully all packages which requires systemd before, sorry. 🤦♂️
Regarding the ubi-minimal issues, yes, I also faced the tzdata bug, but found a simple workaround to run microdnf reinstall tzdata which resolves it. Otherwise everything runs fine, including oci8. But it can be little hacky sometimes.
I'm closing this issue. Thank you for your work! 🙂
