Does your installation, image generation or CI setup take *far too long*? In this talk, we'll discuss how we analyzed hundreds of packages in Fedora to identify their use of RPM scriptlets as an enormous contributing factor to slow installations and complications around generating stable container and ostree images.
We will discuss the various strategies that we have today to eliminate many of these scriptlets as well as our plans for eventually removing most or all of them from Fedora.
This talk is intended for those who are working in packaging or image-generation on RPM-based systems and have at least a basic familiarity with rpmbuild and RPM spec file syntax.
