We merged the svrcore package into DS starting in RHEL 8 (F28). We are going to officially request the removal of svrcore from RHEL & Fedora now, and since it's now merged into DS FreeIPA can remove this Build Requirement from its specfile.
389-ds-base provides svrcore now so there isn't a ton of urgency on this but it should be corrected before the 4.7 final release.
# rpm -q --whatprovides svrcore-devel 389-ds-base-devel-1.4.0.8-1.fc28.x86_64
Metadata Update from @rcritten: - Issue priority set to: low - Issue set to the milestone: FreeIPA 4.7
Does/did FreeIPA ever use svrcore directly?
That's an interesting question. I checked back as far as ipa-2-0 and the requires is there, an autoconf check is there but I don't see it actually used.
It could be it was added to workaround some missing 389-ds or other dependency.
Probably makes sense to drop it and see what happens.
