There's too many packages I guess. It's likely we won't be able to transition *all* packages. If we manage to convert core let's say 300-400 I'll be happy and consider this all a success since that will mean we'll test the code in most possible situations. Some simple packages could be converted automatically, but verification might actually ake longer than just doing it manually :-) > Does this also allow for automating/autogenerating a list of build provides? We do have scripts that can scan the source code and generate "BuildRequires" snippets. But they are not (and can never be) 100%, plus rpm doesn't make generating buildrequires during build any easier :-) We might do some tricks, but it's still a hack IMO. At this point I'm happy with automatic requires (which will likely keep us occupied to make sure unnecessary stuff doesn't creep in everywhere) -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotnicky@xxxxxxxxxx> Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno PGP: 7B087241 Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
