No, but I did need the source RPM to get a list of the package dependencies. That information was not available from the developer, who recommends getting the dependencies from the source package:
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/building_libinput.html "libinput has a few build-time dependencies that must be installed prior to running configure. In most cases, it is sufficient to install the dependencies that your distribution uses to build the libinput package."
What should I communicate to the developer? That for openSUSE, it is *not* sufficient and he will need to provide a list of packages himself?
Basically I'm just trying to make this easy. On Fedora, it's very easy: `sudo dnf builddep libinput`. Boom, done. I'm trying to help make it easier on openSUSE. And you don't need autotools to build libinput from sources on openSUSE, you need it only in case you are building from git. It is also not desirable to require packages that are not needed for building.
How upstream describes build requirements is not responsibility of openSUSE neither is something that should be tracked in openSUSE bugzilla -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
