Description Orion Poplawski 2018-11-01 20:53:12 UTC

Description of problem:

Currently packages need to BR systemd solely to import some rpm macros.  This brings in a number of dependencies as well:

That's a lot just for some macro definitions.

Comment 1 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2018-11-02 09:33:09 UTC

This isn't going to useful for binary rpms, because the macros call systemctl and other systemd binaries. But in the build stage, this would make the buildroot a bit smaller. I'll do the packaging part. Somebody needs to open an FPC ticket ;)

If the committee changes recommendations, this change should be backported to older releases to make it easy to use.
