Luckily I saw this. The best way to make sure the packaging committee sees this kind of thing is to open a ticket at https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ However, I don't believe your assertion to be true. python*-devel is the package with the dependency on the RPM macros; if you depend only on python then, well, the things in that guideline won't actually work. I would like to change this with the rest of the macro work we're doing by moving the macros into redhat-rpm-config but for now I don't believe we can drop the -devel dependencies. - J< -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
