Detailed Description

Benefit to Fedora
Fedora has approximately 22265 packages, based on my research [1], there are 9941 packages that use make, and 2197 that might use make. This leaves between 10127 and 12324 packages that do not use make. Removing make from the BuildRoot will reduce the network traffic, download times, and disk usage for these builds in Koji and also for users doing builds with mock.
Removing make (and its dependencies) will:
- Reduce the BuildRoot download size by: 7.3 MB [2]:
- make: 539k
- gc: 104k
- guile22: 6.6M
- libtool-ltdl: 36k
- Reduce the BuildRoot install size by; 46 MB [2]:
- make: 1.6M
- gc: 229k
- guile22: 44M
- libtool-ltdl: 71k
[2] Package sizes are from the x86_64 packages.
