Hi Michael, > rpm-build's purpose is not in defining a build environment. Hm. Why not? Since rpm-build requires these packages to be fully functional I don't see why one couldn't put the dependencies on that package. It would obsolete the need for a meta package and get rid of a couple of explicit requirements in a lot of spec files. rpm -i --aid rpm-build*rpm would then install a fully functional development system without the need to install extra requirements by hand.
