The problem is not the build dependency, you can get rid of it everywhere without any impact except for openssl itself. What is less transparent is the removal of an actual Require (two actually, zlib-devel is no longer pulled either) ; that can impact other packages and workflows. Someone installing openssl-devel could have expected it to pull krb5-devel and zlib-devel, now they need to install it explicitely separately for their own use as well, it's a change in user interface. > We lived with this "bug" for years.

This is irresponsible. configure with feature autodetection is a PITA :/ -- Dominique _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
