Thoughts on podman package

Hi all

I hope you are all safe. Thanks for providing podman 4 package upgrade so quickly. Since I am upgrading my environments with podman 4 now, I have some thoughts on the podman package. Some dependencies are optional, where I think it's worth considering them as required.

- catatonit
=> 'pause' image not building without (see Wiki)

- netavark
"Therefore, with rootfull containers, the default networking mode is to use netavark." (see Basic Networking Guide for Podman)
As it is regarded as default, shouldn't it be rather required than optional?

- aardvark-dns
"Support for container DNS resolution via the aardvark-dns project" (see Netavark Readme and Podman Blog
This package could be classified as optional

Thanks for your consideration and feedback.

Best Regards
Lichtprotoss

Re: Thoughts on podman package

It's probably best to file a bug report against the package. The maintainer might not notice this thread.
