Packaging guidelines: gettext vs. gettext-devel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I have a question about the guidelines for "Handling Locale Files":

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_handling_locale_files

The guidelines state, "If the package uses gettext for translations,
add BuildRequires: gettext".

gettext-devel seems the more logical dependency, since it has the
autoconf macros. And of course the guidelines for "Devel Packages"
state "-devel packages must be used to contain files which are intended
solely for development or needed only at build-time."

Both gettext and gettext-devel depend on gettext-libs, which might make
the issue unnoticeable for packages don't use autotools.

Would "gettext" or "gettext-devel" be more correct for BuildRequires?
