Description of problem: gettext-devel depends on git Additional info: Mail correspondence with Daiki Ueno: > Can you please remove the git dependency for gettext-devel? > > This is supposed to be a development package (mainly include files). > Since git on Fedora is very old and not updated reagularily, I tried to > remove git (to compile my own git) and to my surprise I saw that > gettext-devel depends on git. > > AFAIK this is the only *-devel package which depends on git. Actually, it _was_ needed for autopoint (a developer script, like autoconf or automake), when we used git as a compression method of /usr/share/gettext/archive.dir.*. Now that the default changed to tar.xz, git shouldn't be necessary anymore. > I truly believe this is a bug. Can you please fix this? Could you please file a bug on bugzilla.redhat.com, so we don't forgot to fix it on the next update?

Thanks for looking into this. Can you please generate an RPM for F20? There are still a lot of people using Fedora 20.
gettext-0.19.4-2.fc21 has been pushed to the Fedora 21 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
gettext-0.18.3.2-4.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gettext-0.18.3.2-4.fc20
gettext-0.18.3.2-5.fc20 has been pushed to the Fedora 20 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
Reopening because I think this was actually not fixed correctly. Having '%bcond_without git' implies '%{with git}' is still 1, thus the dependency was not really removed.
