#394 Outdated guideline about Requires(foo,bar) syntax

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Scriptlets_requirements

AFAICT the last bugs related to comma separated scriptlet dep syntax
like Requires(pre,post,...) were fixed in rpm 4.7.1, so I suggest
removing the "Scriptlets requirements" paragraph altogether, or
leaving it in but noting it only concerns EL5 nowadays.

info Remove the Scriptlets requirements section from the Guidelines and add them to the epel guidelines for EL5 (+1:5, 0:0, -1:0)

Section removed from guidelines and added to the EPEL wiki page. Announcement text:

"""

The Guidelines contained a section stating not to use "Requires(post,pre):" type syntax due to rpm bugs. Since those bugs only apply to the rpm shipped in RHEL5, the prohibition has been removed from the guidelines.
