(I didn't want to > make a dependency on gcc-c++, as people may possibly want to use another > compiler). As stated on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Exceptions_2 , there is no need to explicitly set a dependency on gcc-c++ . And, if we have a look at the specification file of gcc (generating the gcc-c++ sub-package: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/gcc/F-11/gcc.spec?revision=1.49&view=markup), we see that the gcc-c++ gets an explicit dependency on libstdc++-devel package: %package c++ Summary: C++ support for GCC Group: Development/Languages Requires: gcc = %{version}-%{release} Requires: libstdc++ = %{version}-%{release} Requires: libstdc++-devel = %{version}-%{release} And that seems normal to me, as anyone developing in C++ would like to be able to use the STL (and, hence, the STL header files). So, to recap, I would just list boost-devel within the 'Requires:' dependency, and add the result of that discussion within the Wiki (for example by adding an "Exception" sub-section to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Explicit_Requires, but I have not the right to alter that page). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
