Hello,
I have a package that needs procps. While building it in EPEL, i stepped
onto a packaging problem [1] in the RHEL 6 package.
I've opened the bug, but nobody is looking at it and (my guess) it will be
probably fixed for RHEL 6.5. Note that the bug has been tagged as "EasyFix"-
The workaround for the problem would be as follows:
%if 0%{?rhel} == 6
BuildRequires: procps
%else
BuildRequires: procps-devel
%endif
I suppose there's no "provenpackager" group in RHEL, so what should I do
in
this case? Build the package with a workaround in place until the bug is
fixed or wait on building the package at all?
Thanks,

There's no point in waiting for the fix. Just build the package
with your workaround and drop it once it's no longer necessary.
