Hi, I recently got a bug (#125042) that suggested that gstreamer should BuildRequire cvs. This sounded very odd, so I investigated a bit. It turns out that we invoke the gettext program "autopoint", which internally uses cvs (which seems crack to me, but that's another issue). The "autopoint" program is presently included in the "gettext" package. Since it's really autopoint that requires CVS, it seems to me that the package containing autopoint should BuildRequire: cvs. However, since gettext is essentially part of the base system, this would force cvs in too. So as an alternative, I'd like to move autopoint (and probably more development tools) into gettext-devel. See bug #126071. This brings up the main point: a lot of packages presently BuildRequire: gettext, and I think all of them will need to change to gettext-devel. This is the list from rawhide: [walters@porkchop fc3]$ for pkg in $(ls -1); do (cd $pkg; latest=$(ls -1 | tail -1); if rpm -qp --requires $latest/SRPMS/$pkg-$latest.src.rpm | grep -q gettext; then echo $pkg; fi); done anaconda binutils bug-buddy chkconfig compat-gcc control-center coreutils eog evolution firstboot gcc gcc34 GConf2 gdm gedit ggv gkrellm glib2 gnome-desktop gnome-games gnome-libs gnome-mag gnome-session gnome-system-monitor gnome-terminal gnome-themes gnome-utils gnopernicus gnumeric gok gpdf gqview grep gstreamer gthumb gtkhtml3 gtksourceview initscripts k3b kdebase kudzu libgtop2 mc nautilus-cd-burner quota rhpl rhythmbox system-config-printer system-config-samba system-config-securitylevel system-config-users vim xchat xfsprogs
