It is no really mandatory to use it for rpm building, only for some packages, so, there is no need to a requires for some packages. > > - add some functionality to the find-requires script > > - hunt down the packages and add it to the spec file > > Michael has already done the 2nd option as a patch to find-requires, > posted in cooker. The patch is not perfect. If applied right now,linphone would requires pkgconfig, which is useless. So, what i propose is to add pkgconfig as a requires if : - a file is dropped in /usr/lib/pkgconfig and if - a file is dropped in /usr/share/aclocal and this file test the presence of pkg-config. It should be engouh to grep AC_PATH_PROG(PKG_CONFIG, pkg-config, no) in the file. -- Michaël Scherer
