i'm actually wondering, is there any docker friendly format, so that 
each package upgrade will not double image size because the same file 
was changed in transaction.

for example, if rpmdb is 40mb, installing a package, or removing a 
package, will add 40mb layer besides the actual files from the package.

ideally it should be some kind of log format that adds new files to a 
directory, and when "loading" such database, iterates over the files. 
it's not performance wise the best, but docker image layer storage wise 
it would be.
