Not as part of the package build, because I can't see a way that such a thing would be permitted under current Fedora policies. You have runtime dependencies on all of the packages from which you need to pull files, and you build whatever magic tarball you need directly from the packages which are installed on the system. - J -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct

I believe some of the guestfs stuff works that way. Correct, libguestfs builds an appliance at runtime. It caches the appliance per-user to avoid this build cost. Actually you (the original poster) can try this quite easily since the tools for doing it are already in Fedora. To prepare an appliance containing systemd plus dependencies: $ supermin --prepare systemd -o /tmp/supermin.d $ supermin --build /tmp/supermin.d -o /tmp/appliance.d -f chroot # [1] Examining /tmp/supermin.d and /tmp/appliance.d may be enlightening at this point. Note that the '--prepare' step would normally be done when building the RPM (ie. in the spec file), and the '--build' step would normally be done on the end-user's machine. Rich.
