use debian slim baseimages #78

Closed chpio closed 5 years ago

chpio commented 6 years ago

Hallo,

using debian slim baseimages should bring the size down by a few MBs, without really compromising features. The con is the missing documentation.

tianon commented 6 years ago

To be frank, the primary use case of buildpack-deps is for folks who don't care as much about size and instead simply want the entire kitchen sink included by default, so unless the size difference is a really dramatic percentage, this change isn't going to be very compelling.

Using slim bases would probably be relevant for the curl and scm variants since they are a lot smaller. For the regular variant, not so much, but it is convenient to base it on the scm variant so it would inherit the "slim"ness...
