If the dependency is only needed at build time, which is what CRB content is intended for, then there is no reason to default to having CRB enabled because nothing will be installed from CRB anyway. The issue that people are running into is that EPEL packages have developed *runtime* dependencies on CRB content. For a subset of users, that is probably fine. However, if a package needs something at runtime it would be better to first inquire about putting that dependency in BaseOS or AppStream rather than just blindly using it from CRB. josh _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to epel-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/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
