Yes, because the .spec parser can run into error conditions, such as empty Requires lines or invalid expressions due to undefined macros. But that is exactly why you suggested conditional Requires, which are only evaluated if certain build requirements are available. What I mean is that even a valid unconditional "Requires: foo" tag is never included in the src.rpm. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
