Bugzilla 472442: PackageKit BuildRequires

[Brad Hinson]

Hi Karsten,

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=472442

I was working on this a while back, but never finished.  PackageKit has 
a BuildRequires dependency on NetworkManager, even though PackageKit 
built successfully without it.  Richard stated in the BZ it would be 
better to fix NetworkManager on s390x than remove it from BuildRequires.

Have you gotten NetworkManager to build on F10/F11?  If so, this is a 
moot point.  Otherwise, we may still need to comment this out in PackageKit.

Hi Brad,

NetworkManager built just fine on F-10 once I've enabled libusb, wireless-tools and
wpa_supplicant for s390x. Those packages are of no use on mainframes, but it's much
easier to just build them than to patch out everything related to wireless from NM.
That just makes NM build, though. It still has no clue about mainframe networking,
but you need it in order to build anaconda and get one step closer to booting.
