- Even searching for -devel packages implies a "target == host" build
sensibility that is relevant mostly to those developing Fedora, and
not to most of those developers that I run into on a day-to-day basis
(and likely not the developers we're targeting.) They're interested
in using mock along with system libraries for RHEL/CentOS, using
pip/npm/rubygems, etc.
So you mean that Fedora target developers are either using dynamic
languages, or they develop native software for RHEL/CentOS?! So you
believe that "target == rhel/centos"? And native software developers
for *modern* distros are not targets? This is really offending.
RHEL/CentOS themselves should mainly target their developers. I
guess that most of the developers you run into are working for
RedHat.
