## `<suite>-slim` variants
These tags are an experiment in providing a slimmer base (removing some extra files that are normally not necessary within containers, such as man pages and documentation), and are definitely subject to change.
See [the discussion in tianon/docker-brew-debian#48](https://github.com/tianon/docker-brew-debian/issues/48) for some notes/details regarding the specifics of the implementation.
## How It's Made
If you are curious about what goes into creating this image, please see [`contrib/mkimage.sh` in `github.com/docker/docker`](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/contrib/mkimage.sh) (and [`contrib/mkimage/debootstrap` in the same repo](https://github.com/docker/docker/blob/master/contrib/mkimage/debootstrap)).

Those are invoked by [`update.sh` in the image repository](https://github.com/tianon/docker-brew-debian/blob/master/update.sh), which provides some additional functionality such as generating `<suite>-backports` contents and repacking the generated tarballs for the `<suite>-slim` variants.
Additional interesting information is provided in files on the [`dist` branch](https://github.com/tianon/docker-brew-debian/tree/dist) of the relevant repository, namely the exact command used to build (`SUITE/build-command.txt`), a full log of the build itself (`SUITE/build.log`), and the "build manifest" (`SUITE/build.manifest`, which lists the version numbers of all the packages included in the rootfs tarball).
