Details

Description: Since podman 3 is out it can be used as a container backend for docker-compose.
It'd be cool if either docker-compose could be installed without pulling in docker or offering a choice between docker and podman during installation.

podman-compose does exist, but it is not feature equivalent and the project in a rather desolate state, which is probably going to get worse with podman offering native compose support.
This task depends upon

I think this is a duplicate of  FS#69978 . But I'll ask the same question: Why isn't the provides from `podman-docker` enough?

It indeed wants to achieve the same end.

As I shortly lined out, podman-compose isn't ideal. It doesn't support all features docker-compose has (realiably only up and down work for me), it has lots of open issues and pull request and in general seems to be in a rather bad shape. With the parallel efforts to make podman compatible to docker-compose its future doesn't seem bright.

`podman-docker`, not `podman-compose`.

Sorry. I missed that. Not sure why I removed that packet again, but it seems to work.
Sorry for bothering.
