Why did you have to do that? Huh, wow, that's not at all the response I was expecting. What did you expect to achieve with it? Anyway, I'll bite: the primary reason is because I've seen earlier specfile mass modifications (automated as well as done by non-maintainer humans) happen in a way I don't want to see happen to packages I maintain. And it's already been a long time since the availability of java-headless was announced. See also below. > That commit changed nothing because all the dependencies still have "Requires: java". And what do you think will happen when the dependencies get fixed to depend on java-headless? Oh, these packages don't need any action, java-headless goodness just is suddenly available with them. So it did change something after all, no? Progress needs to start somewhere, and I helped by doing the bits applicable to my packages. Waiting until their dependency chain gets fixed would have been grossly inefficient; there was no reason to wait for that, and still isn't. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
