https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1129443 --- Comment #6 from Petr Pisar <ppisar@xxxxxxxxxx> --- spamassissin uses ExtUtils::MakeMaker from sa-compile.raw like this: my $ccopt = $Config{optimize}; # typically "-O2" open(FILE, ">Makefile.PL") or die "cannot create Makefile.PL: $!"; print FILE <<"EOT" or die "error writing to Makefile.PL: $!"; use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; WriteMakefile( 'NAME' => '$modname', 'VERSION_FROM' => '$PMFILE', 'ABSTRACT_FROM' => '$PMFILE', 'OBJECT' => '\$(O_FILES)', 'OPTIMIZE' => '$ccopt', 'AUTHOR' => 'A. U. Tomated <automated\@example.com>', ); EOT See the OPTIMIZE (and following not quoted XS code)---it fiddles with CFLAGS. Therefore spassassin is the case why perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker needs perl-devel. This is classic counterexample for your complain "We don't need perl-devel". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
