There is vague description of which packages should be there. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#BuildRequires_2 It is important that your package list all necessary build dependencies using the BuildRequires?: tag. You may assume that enough of an environment exists for RPM to function and execute basic shell scripts, but you should not assume any other packages are present as RPM dependencies and anything brought into the buildroot by the build system may change over time. But utility fedora-review still complains if you list packages from group "@buildsys-build" LS -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-devel mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-devel Contribute to FreeIPA: http://www.freeipa.org/page/Contribute/Code
