Hi, I'm planning to drop the "minimal buildroot" dependencies from rpmdevtools, leaving in only dependencies that are required for the utils in the package to work. There are two main reasons for this, in no particular order: 1) Some utilities in the package are useful for people and cases that have nothing to do with rpm packaging or development, and rpmdevtools has been made a dependency of various "normal end user" packages because of this. Pulling in the whole minimal build root is not welcome in these cases. 2) rpmdevtools is not really the most natural place for pulling in a minimal build root, it's not really a Fedora specific package. Yes, we want people to use mock, but reality is that many prefer to pull the minimal build root setup into their normal system layout quickly for one reason or another, so this possibility should IMO be preserved somewhere else when/if this dependency set gets removed from rpmdevtools. Maybe the fedora-packager package or a subpackage of it? Thoughts? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
