Dependencies to build rpm question

Postby dedanna1029 » 26 Apr 2013, 23:51

Similar to this question, let's say I'm building an rpm from a tar.gz of said package that needs an rpm, it has things I need to install to build it. In this case, a couple of -devel packages, and quite a few others that I don't need on the whole.

Once the rpm is built, can I uninstall those packages it needed to build?

Thanks.

I think this has been answered before with: yes. So you probably will have no problems with it

That was on tar.gz packages. Was wondering on built rpms. Anyway, should be OK.
