Hi Dylan,


Thank you for the suggestions! I indeed list a lot of dependencies because I'm
discussing these things in IRC to figure out what's the best way to do this. I
changed it to 'Suggests' in the spec file for everything except bash. RPM and
the DNF depsolver will totally ignore this, in a future release these weak
dependencies will be listed as optional. That way people can use that (in the
future when DNF supports it) as a reference if not all functionality of the
command switches are available. I will discuss this change as well on IRC and
I'll create a test branch in git for my experimental suggestions so they won't
show up in this ticket :-)

I bumped the spec and SRPM to version 3.0 in the master branch and also did a
scratch build on Koji:

Later this week I expect to have some final draft for this, I still have to
read some packaging docs as well. Stay tuned :-)
