Which is the reason, why tools like mock build the first src.rpm with -bs --nodeps, ... but this has been changed more than a year ago. Since then -bs implies --nodeps. > This > suggests that the existing expectation in RPM is that BuildRequires > *are* SourceBuildRequires. Sure, but that doesn't help much if the buildsys needs to create a src.rpm from just the spec file. Since the spec file's BuildRequires become the src.rpm's Requires, it's a chicken-and-egg problem. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
