Description Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2006-07-10 14:14:27 UTC 
Description of problem:

  "make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile" requires m4, but the
selinux-policy package does not depend on m4.

  This forces all spec files which need to compile an SELinux policy module to
know that selinux-policy depends on m4 and add that dependency themselves.

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

  selinux-policy-2.2.47-3.fc5

Expected behaviour:

  selinux-policy should depend on m4.
Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2006-07-10 14:22:41 UTC 
We have split out selinux-policy-devel in FC6/Rawhide package which has this
requirement.  I do not want to bring this requirement back into FC5 since it
might break other things.
Comment 2 Hans Ulrich Niedermann 2006-07-12 19:53:35 UTC 
That makes sense in a way.

So I'm going to use the following in my SPEC file:

%if "%{fedora}" >= "6"
BuildRequires: selinux-policy-devel
%else
BuildRequires: selinux-policy, m4
%endif
