Hi All,

I've just got 20 bugs auto-filed against packages which I co-maintain
and that is just for packages starting with the letter 'a'.

A quick check shows that these are all caused by a missing
BuildRequires on gcc / g++ related to:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot

I'm not sure if this means that the FTBFS script has been run before
all the automatic fixing which was planned for this was in place;
or if this means that the automatic fixing missed many many
packages, but either way something needs to happen here, the amount
of work now being pushed onto packagers caused by:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot

Is unacceptable IMHO.

If the FTBFS script has ran too early, all the FTBFS bugs need to be
closed and the FTBFS script has to be run again later.

If the automatic BuildRequires fixing script missed all these, then
I suggest that:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Remove_GCC_from_BuildRoot

Gets reverted for now and we again close all the FTBFS bugs and
rerun the script for them after doing a fresh build with the
buildroot restored as it was.

I know it is not comfortable, yet at this point reverting the change and doing another mass rebuild is IMHO more work than fixing the packages.
