Hi Michael,
I noticed the adding of this bug to 100644, but it's just the actual
maintainer hasn't reacted to it.
Concerning missing buildrequires, it would be nice if someone from
Red
Hat could post a short comment on how clean their build environment is
and whether they are interested in learning about src.rpm build
problems.
These kind of requirements get fixed and are considered bugs afaict. I got
a little list concerning missing (build)requirements in 7.3 of which about
3/4 have been fixed.
Maybe flex is an essential component in Red Hat's build
environment?
If that were so some package my current setup should require it. I've been
rebuilding a significant part of 7.3 with a propoliced gcc-2.95-3 lately
and usually packages Requires what they require.
There are
other packages with incomplete build requirements which fail to build in a
clean environment.
Can you name a few?
Bye,
Leonard.
