What I was mainly worried about was the possibility that this growth in deps was a reflection of a new fedpkg version, so that I could expect to have to contend with the issue even in F15 and beyond. If the dependencies have been cleaned up in more recent branches then my concern is minimal. I do agree with the complainers in the BZ that this was something inappropriate to do in F14, but what's done is done. Even if you undid it, anyone who's done "yum update" recently on an F14 box will have all those unnecessary deps installed. Personally, I always do a fresh install not an upgrade when going to a new Fedora, so the extra deps won't be permanent baggage for me, but they will be for other people. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
