I created my first COPR over this weekend. I worked according to:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package
because that is linked heavily from other pages and also was the first google result for fedora rpm packaging.
However, under https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package#SPEC_file_overview it says:
> BuildRequires: ... Some common packages can be omitted, such as gcc.
and links to here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HOWTOFindMissingBuildRequires#Exceptions
If that's no longer true, somebody who knows what he's doing should adjust that, because that wiki page is likely the most visible rpm tutorial for Fedora.
