Well, as Ralf points out elsewhere in the thread, this will break packages upon rebuild, at which point they will need the appropriate BuildRequires added...So I think this will be a problem only if the package owner hasn't read this thread and isn't aware of the change. So, what shall I do? I feel like at this point the people in charge of packaging quality of the distro should be involved on the call, not just me. -RN -- Robin Norwood Red Hat, Inc.
