But Explicit Requires also says "When explicit library Requires are necessary, there should be a spec file comment justifying it." So in other words, libfoo-devel's explicit dependency on libfoo would need such a comment. I don't think that's the intent. This could be improved by saying "When explicit library Requires are necessary, there should be a spec file comment justifying it, except in cases that fall under the Requiring Base Package guideline." -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
