Duplicated dependencies is a problem because rpm-md becomes larger. If we would use Requires: python%{python3_version}dist() dependencies, then RPM would merge them and it would be fine. But since we use python3-foo and python3dist(foo), it makes duplicated dependencies. So I'm just trying to send PRs to remove such deps. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
