Do you mean that maintainers should add those dependencies manually? How much less manual work would that be compared to adding build-time dependencies? Or do you mean that RPMbuild should automatically add "gcc" as a dependency to every subpackage whose name ends with "-devel"? That would be no help at all for Ada, C++, Fortran, Go or Objective C, which need gcc-gnat, gcc-c++, gcc-gfortran, gcc-go and gcc-objc, respectively. It would be plainly wrong for Pascal for example, according to the dependencies of the package fpc which requires binutils but not gcc. Or do you mean that RPMbuild should automatically detect which programming languages are present in each -devel subpackage, and add dependencies accordingly? Björn Persson
