Can we get a build-essential package instead that requires everything that is needed to get a working C and C++ compiler, and run most autoconf/automake/libtool-generated scripts (but not the autotools themselves)? In my opinion, it is a bad use of developer time to track what programs exactly are called from ./configure, and how these programs match sed/grep/coreutils. It would also give us a central place where we can fix breakage due to missing packages in build roots because a significant fraction of packages got a build-required package through an indirect dependency. -- Florian Weimer / Red Hat Product Security -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
