OS versions that claim to be LSB-certified at a given level may have those, and they may be provided by a set of RPMs that are not included in the base distribution. redhat-lsb "Provides: lsb", so any LSB-compliant app can "Require: lsb". LSB is really no different than any other set of dependencies, except that they aim for wider cross-distro compatibility. I don't see a strong reason to put them in the default buildroot, just buildrequire them if needed at build time.
Fair enough. I'm just curious - isn't the earliest Fedora release that Extras targets - FC-3? - LSB-compliant, and comes with redhat-lsb preinstalled as part of the base install? -- Michel Salim http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~msalim http://the-dubois-papers.blogspot.com/
