app-emulation/docker-compose: doesn't pull app-emulation/docker. Is it supposed behavior? Thanks!
Interesting question. It's dependency dev-python/docker-py does not seem to depend on Docker either. You could in theory set DOCKER_HOST to something that's not on your local machine. If that was your case and we'd depend on docker as of today, someone else would open a ticket to get rid of that dependency maybe. What do you think?
Thanks for reply! I don't know Gentoo traditions so good. Maybe, `remote` flag? Off by default, I think. IMHO your scenario is not default.
Cannot you even use a different engine like rkt?
Not `remote` but `docker`, `rkt`, etc. flags, then?
I thought about it more and it's clear to me now that: - Someone who aims at building docker images locally using docker-compose has a use case that dependencies on both docker and docker-compose and hence can be exacted to install both. - The usual approach of printing helpful text about suggested packages in pkg_postinst does not seem needed because need of docker for local builds is obvious, in case of local builds. - An use flag would not cause more trouble than good, e.g. needless rebuilds in case of change. I would therefore like to close this ticket as "good enough as is". Is that okay with you?
Yes, thanks.
Great, thanks for your understanding!
