Hello,
There is an inconsistency between the spec template in fedora-rpmdevtools,
which has a
BuildRequires: perl
and the Package Review Guidelines
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/ReviewGuidelines
where there is
- MUST: A package must not contain any BuildRequires that are listed in the exceptions section of Packaging Guidelines.
with perl in the exception section of Packaging Guidelines
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Exceptions
Ville thinks that the guidelines are wrong, that is perl should be allowed to
be a BuildRequires for perl packages.
For more informations, there is a bug I filled, with Ville response:
