Please be careful with such 'fixes'. Some specs are also built for EPEL 6; in EPEL 6, some of these (e.g. python-argparse) are still separate packages. I kind of agree with Neal / Kevin that removing these is pointless and unnecessary. Now I will have to conditionalize my affected specs somehow in order to keep using them to do builds both for EPEL 6 (where I *must* include Requires: python-argparse) and Rawhide (where I now *cannot* include Requires: python-argparse)...which is a pain. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
