Description barsnick 2020-02-27 09:54:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
The SPEC file incorrectly references a BuildRequires as pkgconfig(zlib), even though the build system doesn't use pkgconfig.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.0-5

Additional info:
As far as I can tell, heaptrack's CMake build system doesn't use pkgconfig at all, just classic preprocessing and compile tests (search for headers and libs). Therefore specifiying a BuildRequires using "pkgconfig()" is semantically incorrect, even though it works just fine within Fedora. Correct would be to specify "BuildRequires: zlib-devel" as for the other packages.
Comment 1 Jan Grulich 2020-02-27 10:00:14 UTC 
I believe this a correct way how to require a dependency.

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/PkgConfigBuildRequires. Using BR: pkgconfig(zlib) will work in future even if the zlib-devel starts providing a different library.
Comment 2 Jan Grulich 2020-02-27 10:06:23 UTC 
Reading it again, you are probably correct. I will fix it with the other request you reported.
