https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1450440 --- Comment #13 from Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- perl-devel is a build-require, not a require, and is not only allowed, it is required for building XS packages: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Perl?rd=Packaging/Perl#Build_Dependencies Referring to the general packaging guidelines (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#BuildRequires_2), it's recommended to add build requirements for anything a package explicitly needs and not depend on buildroot dependencies pulling them in, as the buildroot contents may change over time (it tends to get smaller, with less packages included over time). Hence I have build requirements on coreutils, findutils, gcc and make, all of which are used in the package build. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
