It's just about conceivable that wfmath-devel might someday not include a .pc file and hence not require pkgconfig itself. It's good practice that if your package requires something itself and not just via a dependency (as would be the case if this package didn't ship a .pc file) then the direct dependency should be added to your package. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
