That argument doesn't hold much water. CMake always requires a backend, and right now it hard-requires make. Until that's no longer the case, adding BR: make to packages already having BR: cmake is just a waste of time. If I can't be sure of *anything*, then wouldn't I have to add the entire expected dependency tree as BRs?, down to glibc and filesystem? _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
