Description Carlos O'Donell 2015-06-11 04:00:59 UTC
Please replace the BuildRequires: glibc-headers with BuildRequires: gcc. The new Fedora packaging guidelines require you define all the things you need in the buildroot to build [1].

Given that this package has C code it should BuildRequires: gcc, and that is sufficient to bring in all of the required core C libraries and headers to compile C code.

The reason I'm asking is because glibc-headers may or may not be removed in the future and it isn't sufficient to guarantee the package builds.

Comment 1 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 14:01:46 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 2 Carlos O'Donell 2016-06-08 14:41:16 UTC
Any progress on removing the unused BuildRequires on glibc-headers?

Comment 3 Daniel Kopeček 2016-06-08 20:59:52 UTC
Peter,
 isn't sectool obsolete now (with OpenSCAP as a replacement)? Shouldn't we remove this package from the distribution?

Comment 4 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2016-06-13 12:51:21 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 5 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2016-06-13 13:11:59 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 6 Daniel Kopeček 2016-06-13 14:11:58 UTC
The sectool project is no longer developed nor maintained upstream. As a replacement, try the OpenSCAP project (https://www.open-scap.org) and its sectool SCL content (openscap-content-sectool package).
