Unfortunately, I don't think there's any way to do this in a reliable and generic fashion except in the cases where we're helped by the upstream library maintainers[1]. If you were to automatically do some sort of dep on, eg, 'pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0', then you could end up with a newer requirement than you really need[2] Jeremy [1] eg, by using symbol versioning at which point findProvides/findRequires actually will do a requirement on the versioned form of the library; see glibc deps [2] Right now, it would say I need gtk+ 2.10.2 for anything built against gtk2. Realistically, many of them would work for pre gtk+ 2.10 (as long as they're not using new gtk+ features) but they'd definitely work with say gtk+ 2.10.1 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
