Kevin, et al.

I am willing to help with the re-write but admittedly some of it will require a crash course for me.

Wow, that "HOWTO" is a really old page -- not changed since being
imported from the old moin moin wiki. My feeling is that page should
be deleted and the "How to create an RPM package" page should be
updated.

Here is the official guideline:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#BuildRequires_2 --
basically, we just got out of the business of keeping track of what
the minimum buildroot contains.
Should we just delete that HOWTO page?

Really you should be using mock these days and it should tell you when
you don't have the right buildrequires present by failing until you add
them.
