Well, there are guidelines for such explicit Requires: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Explicit_Requires If you apply this, a comment should be added to the spec file to explain explicit dependencies. Together with http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Requires that section of the guidelines covers more than just library dependencies. The file dependencies, which are preferred in this case, are covered, too: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#File_Dependencies -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
