# Proposal

There is no strict definition of what a minimal Arch Linux system installation must contain. However in reality we mostly don’t add any packages that are in the base group as a dependency to other packages, which basically makes it a hard requirement.

The current way of defining a minimal system via a group is non-optimal for the following reasons: One of the issues that might need to be fixed is this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/54887 (FS#54887 - [openssl] remove perl from dependency of the openssl package)

That’s a different issue, but one that we intend to tackle next: transient/transitive dependencies. Regards, Bruno
