In any case, having them in the default buildroot sounds unnecessary to me. Or are there any good reason I'm not aware of? And I'm wondering why we need those (hints why we might need them appreciated): openssh-server doxygen indent byacc ctags gettext gdb createrepo perl-XML-* And we probably should synchronize it with the list we maintain at http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Exceptions For example: python and intltool (probably others) are in the default mock install, but not in the list from the wiki. perl on the other hand is. Is there a good reason for that behavior?
