Description Bill Nottingham 2013-12-03 21:20:45 UTC 
Description of problem:

w3m was removed during a package cleanup recently, and gegl's build requirement was overlooked.

We would prefer not to ship another web browser merely for a buildreq.

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

latest releng nightly

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. look for srpms with missing buildreqs
Comment 2 Ondrej Vasik 2013-12-04 13:10:13 UTC 
It uses w3m for rebuilding README file - as 
w3m -cols 72 -dump docs/index.html

I think this may be workarounded/patched and e.g. lynx may be used instead with some slight change (e.g. lynx -force_html -dump -nolist -width=72 docs/index.html ) - or pregenerated README can be provided as workaround...

I agree that it is not worth of readding w3m.
Comment 3 Nils Philippsen 2013-12-04 13:33:47 UTC 
gegl only seems to need w3m for doing "make dist", so I can just remove the BR.

Verification:

Steps to reproduce: 
Package version: gegl-0.2.0-11.el7

1. Open gegl.spec
2. Check that "BuildRequires:  w3m" is present

Result: spec file contains "BuildRequires:  w3m".

Steps to verify
Package version: gegl-0.2.0-18.el7

1. Open gegl.spec
2. Check that "BuildRequires:  w3m" is not present

Result: spec file does not contain "BuildRequires:  w3m".
