Various packages now install files into /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs for use when building rpms. Currently that directory is owned by:

Of the various packages on my machine that install files there:
gstreamer1-1.6.0-2.fc23.x86_64 javapackages-tools-4.6.0-6.fc23.noarch kde-settings-23-7.fc23.noarch nodejs-0.10.36-4.fc23.x86_64 perl-generators-1.06-1.fc23.noarch python3-cups-1.9.72-2.fc23.x86_64 redhat-rpm-config-36-1.fc23.noarch rpm-build-4.13.0-0.rc1.4.fc23.x86_64 rpm-mpi-hooks-3-2.fc23.noarch
only rpm-mpi-hooks requires rpm-build for directory ownership, while javapackages-tools takes the route of owning the directory. However, I'd rather rpm-mpi-hooks not require rpm-build as it's not really necessary other than for this directory. The simple thing I think would be for rpm to own the directory. Does that seem reasonable?
I agree. While Petr is right from an purist POV practicality is what counts here. Forcing all those packages to either require rpmbuild or splitting out an devel-rpm sub package is not a good option. Having the directory within rpm makes things work without any Requires:
I moved the directory over in rawhide (rpm-4.13.0-0.rc1.8.fc24). It is probably a bit late for F23. Shall I clone the bug for javapackages-tools, rpm-mpi-hooks, supermin-devel to get them adjusted or can you take care of them on your own?
The change is just dropping `Requires: rpm-build'?
Rich.
