buildreq for minicom-2.00.0-alt4 generates an unreasonably long list of requirements: packagereq: building requires list: bison cups gimp-print kernel22-source kernel24-source libncurses-devel libtermcap-devel pcmcia-cs The only really used packages are the two lib*-devel. All others are probably detected during the execution of ./configure. --- --- I have three ideas of possible solutions (all of them are not good): 1. exclude files that are commonly used in autotools\' tests from the set of files that are important for detecting the packages; 2. do not trace ./configure and its child processes; 3. put %configure to another section of the spec-file (not %build, but %prep), so that one can first execute %prep without tracing, and then trace the %build stage.
Seems to be fixed (i.e. was minicom package problem): now buildreq minicom produces: # Automatically added by buildreq on Sat Sep 28 2002 BuildRequires: libtinfo-devel
