I'm not whining, but pointing out flaws which -- surprisingly -- meet resistance. With the full list deleted, coreutils, bash and many other fundamental packages are not guaranteed to be available in the default buildroot anymore. It is beyond my comprehension that somebody claims everything would be fine. You want a fix? Join the old minimal list and the expanded list to build a new list. Keep the combined list unchanged and under control of FESCo. That's the defined minimal list of BR which need not be added to spec files. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
