Agree, but maybe we can introduce some kind of global switch (features
implementation from Chris can be helpful here) to enable such kind of hacks.
And of course it should be disabled by default.

I would surely vote for Chris’ implementation since it is something he has 
implemented at my request :). Glad to see that we have a use-case for it 
(within this layer itself). Good feedback / suggestions Anton.

Thanks cedric and anton for the review. Let's wait for Chris's changes and try to use this one as a switch.

What's the (final) difference to isar-exclude-docs?

I validated the isar-mmdebstrap-target rootfs with and without docs, I could able to see approx  17MB differences.

Note: compared the compressed rootfs (rootfs.tar.zst) file

Many thanks,

That is not my point.

Are you trying to optimize the intermediate artifact sizes or the final
image? The latter should also be addressed by using isar-exclude-docs.
The former would need some stronger motivation, I would say...

RE: [PATCH] isar-mmdebstrap: reduce rootfs size as much as possible

['Arjunan, Srinu' via isar-users]

Hi Jan,

            I hope this isar-exclude-docs package can be used to exclude the documentation in the image rootfs, but here I introduced this customization for the bootstrap rootfs.

Additionally we are cleaning the locales under /usr/share in the bootstrap rootfs.

With this reduced size of the bootstrap rootfs, we achieve the sbuildchroot-<host/target> size also reduced.

Many thanks,
Srinu

Still no reason to not use that existing package, maybe extending it. It
already comes with the configurability that your approach is missing and
cannot introduce that nicely.

Plus, your approach cleans up before all packages have been install,
isar-exclude-docs does that afterwards. So, yours is architecturally
inferior. I really see no reason to go this way.

Hello Jan,

The main reason not to use isar-exclude-docs is that this package 
doesn't exist
during bootstrap rootfs preparations. Moreover to build it we need bootstrap
recipe building already finished.

Hello Jan, 

The main reason not to use isar-exclude-docs is that this package 
doesn't exist 
during bootstrap rootfs preparations. Moreover to build it we need 
bootstrap 
recipe building already finished. 


Too be  honest, I am not sure why we would want to apply any optimizations 
at the bootstrap phase as needs for images or sbuild environments are not 
known at that stage (eg one may want man pages in the SDK). Am I missing 
something?

What matters is the final image, not the bootstrapped one. And this is
what the postinst script of isar-exclude-docs addresses. The hook of
this patch only addresses what the essential packages bring in form of
docs & Co., thus fails to achieve its declared goal.
