Jerome,

python3 is an implicit dependency of vpp-devel and I am not sure why.  Because of that I put python36 explicitly in Requires because I was concerned about cross versions of Python between 34 and 36 having side affects.

As for epel-release, it is harmless but is not strictly required installation time but I wanted to make sure the epel repo was installed so further dependency checks were resolved from the correct repo.

Jerome,

Let me take a look at this today. I will submit a patch to take them out if I can verify that they are not needed.

Hi Thomas,

In https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/18953/ you are putting epel-release and Python3 into the dependencies.

 1. I can understand that those are needed as /BuildRequires:/, but
    are they really needed for /Requires: /?
 2. Why do we need epel-release as runtime requirement?
 3. Do we really need Python3 for VPP 19.04 itself?
