Since I recently had the need to use jigdo from EPEL and stumbled on some problems/defects I am directing this to the epel-devel-list, not sure if it is the right target, so if this is misdirected here, please be so kind as to provide me to the proper channel(s).

I am using the latest jigdo released in EPEL for EL5 the moment on CentOS 5.3 at the time of writing: jigdo-0.7.3-4.el5

When I installed jigdo a lot of libX related packages were dragged into my minimal installation. Since jigdo has a functional CLI interface (jigdo-lite) and a WYSIWYG interface which is currently not fully functional).

Since I do my work mainly on the CLI (on a system as minimal as possible) I was wondering if it would be possible to split the package in a non-WYSIWYG package (containing only jigdo-lite) and a WYSIWYG package (containing graphical stuff), this would save me a lot of libX* related packages:

Furthermore after installation I received a few errors when invoking the program:

Most of them were on my system apart from which. After installing which I was able to successfully build my ISO using jigdo, so I think the package SPEC file needs a few additional require directives to make sure all dependencies are met when installing jigdo:

Only wget is listed currently when querying requirements for jigdo, so this would be the additions AFAICT:

Require: which Require: egrep Require: sed Require: gzip Require: wc Require: expr

Once again I am hoping I am directing my request to the proper channels.

Kind regards,
