I THINK I found the issue with my original PR. The command to register the
scl repo doesn't get picked up by `yum` until it exits.
**this fails to find devtoolset-4**
```
yum install -y \
centos-release-scl \
devtoolset-4-gcc-c++
```
**this finds it**
```
yum install -y centos-release-scl \
&& yum install -y devtoolset-4-gcc-c++
```
Testing locally now, will update later tonight. I am testing locally by
walking through the build instructions in each README in the
`metron-deployment/packaging/docker` sub-folders. I've never used vagrant and
don't actually know how to do "Have you verified the basic functionality of the
build by building and running locally with Vagrant full-dev environment or the
equivalent?"
> Packaging docker containers are too large

> Key: METRON-1650
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1650
> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: James Lamb
> Priority: Minor
>
> I have been looking through the project source code, and found that the
> packaging docker containers are bigger than they need to be.
> The containers' size could be cut substantially by:
> * Grouping as many commands as possible into as few RUN stages as possible
> * Taking advantage of `yum clean` and `apt-get clean`
> * Removing artifacts pulled with `wget`
> * Removing unused libraries or libraries only needed at build time (like
> `tar` and `wget`)
> I am creating this issue but will soon submit a PR to address it.
> Thank you for considering my proposal!
