Could you please add "glibc-gconv-extra" provide to glibc on older Fedoras
(and
if at all possible, RHELs), so we can add the BuildRequires without worrying
about backwards compatibility?
Thanks for your help with this Miro, I did intend to add support to
older versions later. However I've reverted this change for now in
response to concerns raised about compatibility. The package split
stays but it is a Requires now instead of a Recommends so there should
be functionally no difference compared to how it was before. We'll
give it another shot later, once we've taken a better look at (and
handled) all the things we need to fix before making the dependency a
weak one.
Thanks,
Siddhesh
