So I bring this tiny issue to your attention, so that any kind soul can provide a technical explanation on why we can have 'xz' supported on our build environments...
What's wrong with adding "BuildRequires: xz"?
Beside Nelson's arguments I also think that xz becomes as essential as gzip, bzip2, tar or even coreutils. Trivial BuildRequires are useless. Should we require even "patch" to let %patch work? Why doing this for %setup which is even more often used than %patch? IMO the tar package itself should Require xz (and gzip, bzip2!) because it's not very useful without them. On the other hand tar requires "info" - that's really unbalanced. BTW it's also really pity that this feature got rejected. https://features.opensuse.org/312439 cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
