Here's a list of the suspicious or downright bad package recommendations I spotted:
Quite a number of them seems just be indirect dependencies, except perhaps isdn4k-utils.
But do we care about indirect dependencies? We shouldn't have to update the list every time the dependencies of one of these packages changes. Besides, isn't the RPM package dependency problem solved these days?
In the openSUSE buildservice I have for Fedora:
audiofile cups-devel fontforge freeglut-devel libpng-devel libtiff-devel libxslt-devel prelink libgphoto2 libxml2-devel pkgconfig libjpeg-devel audiofile-devel bison flex ncurses-devel openssl-devel openldap-devel libicu-devel lcms-devel freetype-devel isdn4k-utils-devel alsa-lib-devel hal-devel libX11-devel libXext-devel imake xorg-x11-utils libXt-devel libXrandr-devel libXrender-devel libXinerama-devel libXi-devel fontconfig-devel libXcomposite-devel libXcursor-devel libXxf86vm-devel xorg-x11-proto-devel xorg-x11-xtrans-devel
But even these might be too many ;)
Yes. At first glance I'd say audiofile, freeglut-devel, libtiff-devel, prelink (or maybe at the RPM package level), audiofile-devel, libicu-devel (not used anymore), imake.
Stefaniuc also reminded me on IRC that fontforge is not really needed anymore now. We should either put it in an optional dependencies list or remove it altogether.
