I'm thinking of perl in particular. I don't expect changes to rpm-build's dependencies for the time being. The pluggability just makes it /possible/ to add new things without dragging them in as dependencies or jumping through nutty hoops to avoid them. At some point (maybe for F16, I dunno) we might want to look at pushing some of the current dependencies like perl out to perl-related packages etc, but that's not an immediate goal. - Panu - -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
