this introduced a new build cycle: permissions/tclap

a new build cycle is not so good, but the worst thing is we need to add tclap to ring0 if this change be accepted, tclap is tooo heavy for ring0(including graphviz, doxygen, etc), may I ask do we really need to buildrequires tclap in permissions? or can we split tclap part feature to a sub-package(2nd specfile)? because add tclap to ring0 is a no go IMO.

tclap is just a header-only library. It should actually require no extra dependencies at all. It could make sense to split off the doxygen/graphviz stuff into a tclap-devel package. Would that help?

if say split off the doxygen/graphviz stuff into a tclap-devel.spec or whatever else, then that does work, just don't buildrequires them in the main spec.

I'm just seeing that the doxygen stuff is already split-off into a -doc package. So although we don't really need the doc stuff we can't BuildRequire the tclap main package?

correct, buildrequires doxygen or graphviz in the main spec that means we need to have them in the same project in order to bootstrap tclap build.
