Since I recently had the need to use jigdo from EPEL and stumbled on
some problems/defects I am directing this to the epel-devel-list, not
sure if it is the right target, so if this is misdirected here, please
be so kind as to provide me to the proper channel(s).
I am using the latest jigdo released in EPEL for EL5 the moment on
CentOS 5.3 at the time of writing: jigdo-0.7.3-4.el5
When I installed jigdo a lot of libX related packages were dragged into
my minimal installation. Since jigdo has a functional CLI interface
(jigdo-lite) and a WYSIWYG interface which is currently not fully
functional).
Since I do my work mainly on the CLI (on a system as minimal as
possible) I was wondering if it would be possible to split the package
in a non-WYSIWYG package (containing only jigdo-lite) and a WYSIWYG
package (containing graphical stuff), this would save me a lot of libX*
related packages:

Furthermore after installation I received a few errors when invoking the
program:

Most of them were on my system apart from which. After installing which
I was able to successfully build my ISO using jigdo, so I think the
package SPEC file needs a few additional require directives to make sure
all dependencies are met when installing jigdo:
Only wget is listed currently when querying requirements for jigdo, so
this would be the additions AFAICT:
Require: which
Require: egrep
Require: sed
Require: gzip
Require: wc
Require: expr
Once again I am hoping I am directing my request to the proper channels.
Kind regards,
Jonathan
