Bah, my mistake. I had thought (for some unknown reason) that
diffutils had been removed from the short list and that's why it
disappeared from the buildsys-build package.
So it's just a plain old bug in the buildsys-build package that
diffutils isn't required anymore.
http://buildsys.fedoraproject.org/buildgroups/6/i386/
buildsys-build-0.5-1.noarch.rpm from June 2006 "Requires: diffutils",
because it requires the list of Exceptions from the guidelines.
I asked this last week sometime
and never got any replies... Where is the srpm or cvs for the
buildsys-build package? And should bugs in this package be reported
to the infrastructure ticketing system or somewhere else?
The buildsys-build spec is included in mock as %doc file.
diffutils is an R there, too, since at least June 2006.
