This is a bit of inflammatory logic. Let's see if I can re-orient the discussion. First of all very very few items in the repository actually have a requirement on a compiler. > repoquery --whatrequires --alldeps gcc |wc -l 17 -devel packages shouldn't be pulling in the compiler at all really. The couple that do could be errors in the specfile that need to be corrected. And the devel packages are on their face meant for..developers. They are not expected to provide functionality or just work out of the box. So its difficult to hold the -devel packages up to the same light as potential dkms packages, it's not an apples to apples comparison. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
