Quite frankly the argument that the developper could not write a spec file was already poor (because specs are a piece of cake next to makefiles and autofoo), but the argument he can not care about the deps his app uses is ridiculous (both from a technical and legal POW). Please don't take it bad, but developping is more than copying snippets of code, and a developper that can not care about his software environment is not worth the name. -- Nicolas Mailhot
