You're violating the bundling and naming practices that EPEL and Fedora have used for years, especially their insistence that they build from source, not repackaging bundled binaries from someone else into an RPM. There are a whole stack of security reasons to discourage that, and assuring the original source code and build tools are available for others to modify is vital to "free software" in the GPL sense. To quote you: "PyCharm CE cannot be completely built from sources". If that were completely true, it could not be built on COPR. If it's broken on Fedora, please, work with *that*, and I suspect that resolving that will resolve the missing dependency issue. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
