base-devel is for makedepends only, base is for depends. > 2. include libraries listed in ldd, if the package includes a compiled > executable This is wrong. If myprog links *only* to libfoo.so, and internally libfoo.so links to libbar.so, ldd will show both libfoo.so and libbar.so Instead use readelf -d and look for lines containing "NEEDED". Or use lddtree (from the pax-utils package) to get a tree-based view of a program's dependencies. ldd is completely inaccurate and misleading for this purpose. > 3. include external commands if they are required (and not already in > base-devel) > > The second point is not mandated (you can depend on a package fulfilling > the needed library depends, transitively), though helpful when listing > rebuilds.
