Description of problem: I think the groovy-lib subpackage was introduced to allow packages that use groovy as embedded language to depend on it without pulling in a ton of dependencies. But as of now, groovy-lib still pulls in ant, junit, testng etc., which I believe are not needed (are optional). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): groovy-lib-0:2.4.5-1.fc24.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. repoquery --requires groovy-lib Actual results: java-headless jpackage-utils mvn(bsf:bsf) mvn(com.beust:jcommander) mvn(com.thoughtworks.qdox:qdox) mvn(commons-logging:commons-logging) mvn(jline:jline) mvn(junit:junit) mvn(org.apache.ant:ant) mvn(org.apache.ant:ant-antlr) mvn(org.apache.ant:ant-junit) mvn(org.apache.ant:ant-launcher) mvn(org.testng:testng) Expected results: no requires on ant, junit, etc. Additional info: On the other hand, I'd expect objectweb-asm to be among requires, as that is what groovy uses internally, isn't it?
AFAIK the requires are correct. Groovy 2.x comes with artifacts like org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-testng (which pulls in testng), or org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-test (which pulls in junit). testng and junit deps are not optional in those cases. Those artifacts didn't exist in 1.8.x and therefore having singe -lib subpackage was enough. It would make sense to put each artifact into separate subpackage in case of Groovy 2.x. objectweb-asm seems to be jarjar-ed inside org.codehaus.groovy:groovy (and groovy-all), so we should probably unbundle it, or add bundled(objectweb-asm) provides.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle. Changing version to '24'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora24#Rawhide_Rebase
