The most important one is probably the lack of arch-specific Requires: and BuildRequires: (#235755). I don't think we'll manage #235757 in time for Fedora 8 but it would be good to get it done (and the packages updated accordingly) for Fedora 9. (Note that comments 3-19 are about the short-term hack we did for F7, not the real subject of the bug). Thoughts on #235758 would be appreciated. -- dwmw2 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
