Patch that adds the Requires none

Description Steve Grubb 2004-08-17 23:36:37 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.4.2)
Gecko/20040308

Description of problem:
When Pyrex is used, it needs to have python-devel available to it.
Building dbus, for example, doesn't work unless there is a Requires:
python-devel against the package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Pyrex-0.9.2.1-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -e python-devel
2. rpmbuild -bb dbus.spec

Actual Results:  Message saying headers weren't found.

Expected Results:  A message saying where the dbus rpm was written.

Additional info: I will attach a patch that addresses this.

Patch that adds the Requires

Comment 2 John (J5) Palmieri 2004-08-18 14:28:09 UTC 
This should be a BuildRequires for dbus but since Pyrex is a
development library I see no problem requiring python-devel for Pyrex.
 Patch accepted. Thanks.
Comment 3 Steve Grubb 2004-08-18 15:13:11 UTC 
Can you think of any other package that uses Pyrex in its build
process? Does Pyrex complete its job for that package even without
python-devel being installed? If the answer is yes, a package does
indeed use Pyrex to build and does not need python-devel, then I would
agree that it is a BuildRequires against dbus.

However, if no package that uses Pyrex can be built without also
needing python-devel, then its far easier to put the Requires here and
just be done with it. Otherwise you have to add it to all packages
that use Pyrex.
Comment 4 John (J5) Palmieri 2004-08-18 16:53:53 UTC 
No other packages in Fedora use Pyrex.  Anyway it is a moot point
since I have accepted the patch and feel there are good reasons for
having it in here. 

Built. Closing bug.
