--- Comment #43 from Mads Kiilerich <m...@kiilerich.com> --- (In reply to comment #39) > Ooops! This is completely wrong for i686.

As you point out: The src.rpm dependencies (and thus yum-builddep) are not reliable anyway. It is for example (usually) not possible to do 'yum-builddep grub2' on i686. (IMO it would be better to deprecate yum-builddep and provide a simple way to install build dependencies from rpmbuild/fedpkg, using locally and correctly exapanded macros.) It do however IMO matter that build requirements are 100% reliable that if just the stated requirements are met somehow then we can trust that the build will succeed and be valid. A unspecific requirement can be ambiguous and fatal on multilib systems. IMO it is thus better to make the arch requirement explicit when it matters. But right, this is not how we do in Fedora where multilib has several grey areas ... and this is thus not the rigth place to discuss it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list package-review@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/package-review
