https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1230161 --- Comment #11 from Petr Šabata <psabata@xxxxxxxxxx> --- True, there used to be a list of exceptions, packages that were guaranteed to be present in every buildroot. This list was dropped for multiple reasons -- to simplify the guidelines and to achieve minimal smaller minimal buildroots, among others. See the relevant discussions on devel@ and packaging@ mailing lists. Nowadays, there is no guarantee for anything to be in the minimal buildroot and every package is expected to explicitly require what it uses. There's nothing wrong with it, quite the contrary. If you naively expect some of you dependencies to bring in some other of your dependencies for you, your package might break at any time in the future when the dependency chain changes. Frankly, I don't understand this strong opposition against correct dependency lists. It doesn't cause any harm, only helps. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
