[Fedora-packaging] Auto-Provides and glibc
Hi,
Quick question: I've been cleaning up some local packages of mine,
including a glibc, and noticed it's automatically adding Provides for
all of the iconv modules %{libdir}/gconv/*.so. I thought I'd filter
out these files as per the guidelines[1], but apparently the system
glibc also provides them. No packages seem to require any of them[2].
Was this an oversight, or is there a reason to keep advertising these
~250 modules through RPM Provides?
Thanks.
David
