Even so, RHEL depends to a great extent on Fedora for its packages, so it is a consideration to weigh in. > i.e. people who are trying to bootstrap from scratch for whatever reasons, are > not of any importance and need to be taught that Fedora is incrementally built. Leaving the arrogant insolence of that statement aside, your task here is not to teach people, but to improve Fedora (and indirectly RHEL). Hence, you need to look at the issue from a technical point of view, not a political one. > Apart of perl, they will be facing similar issue all over the place, e.g. when > building gcc/glibc/kernel (also an incrementally built system). Apples and oranges. Obviously you can't build a compiler unless you have a compiler, but many BuildRequires in this bug are *literally unnecessary*. That is, when package A builds correctly without package B, there should not be a 'BuildRequires: B' in the specfile of A. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
