Sure, it should be checked, but not that it would free those packages from being broken. Let me quote https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines Note: If you call perl or python in your spec file (and it is not already a BuildRequires for the package), you need to explicitly add a BuildRequires for perl or python. Moreover, perl is not (and I believe it never was) in the list in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Exceptions_2 Matěj -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
