Hi! I saw an old PR related to try and find out when a package was first added. The PR had few drawbacks, however another suggestion was made and I think it is now more relevant to discuss if it might be useful now for users. The goal can be find out in which layer a package (or CVE in case exists) was added to a docker container. Here is the link to the PR - [Squashed all layers by tomersein · Pull Request #3138 · anchore/syft · GitHub](https://github.com/anchore/syft/pull/3138) Here is the link to the issue - [Enhance scoping selections · Issue #15 · anchore/syft · GitHub](https://github.com/anchore/syft/issues/15) What do you think? It can be a great baseline to the “base-image” resolver in the future. ---

Hi @TimBrown1611 thanks for the reminder. @wagoodman is taking a look at the PR soon. We’ll follow up on GitHub. I’m closing this thread to keep the conversation in one place. ---
