Containising gcc would be a waste of resources IMO when you can just "yum install" in a dockerfile of a large service like pgsql (if you wanted to build it etc). What's going to give us most return on our effort? SSSD in a container doesn't attract users, having containerised applications like httpd or pgsql etc does. -- Sincerely, William Brown Software Engineer Red Hat, Australia/Brisbane
