Doubt about explicit compiler mention in the BuildRequires field

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am asking this about
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/C_and_C++/

Is the requirement that we should explicit state the compiler or is it enough 
to have it implicitly.

Case in point, R binary packages.

Each package requires R-devel. Now R-devel requires R-core-devel that requires 
gcc-c++
gcc-gfortran

So the BuildRequires for gcc-c++ is there but implicitly.

If the requirement is for the BuildRequires to be explicit then it should be 
said that explicitly in the guidelines page. As an example in the "Packaging 
Q&A" section.

What do you think? Regards,
