Subject: Weak dependencies come to Fedora
Not sure if you noticed, but this can possibly affect some of our tools or workflows, so
I wanted to highlight it - it seems that weak dependencies are now approved in Fedora:
http://fedoramagazine.org/5tftw-2015-07-09/
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:WeakDependencies
We now have 4 more RPM dependency types to look out for :-) The first thing that comes to
mind is depcheck, so I created a task for it here:
https://phab.qadevel.cloud.fedoraproject.org/T524
Hopefully this will not affect our other tools too much. If you know about something else
that is likely to break, shout.
Thanks,
Kamil

Depcheck /should/ already handle weak dependencies, actually. I talked this over
with the RPM folks at Flock last year (I won't be going this year, btw). I will,
however,
check to be sure that it does.
