I assume you mean the line about using dnf builddep to install the build dependencies on Fedora 22 and later. I've removed that. I've left the command from Zhenbo Li, because AFAIK it should install everything listed, and all those things are needed, but I'm not sure the list includes everything needed. The original wording on that page suggested that it was needed in addition to running dnf builddep. Hence the "This section is incomplete" note I've also added; someone who uses Fedora will need to expand that section, or tell me what to add. 

Is there any point in keeping the Old Fedora section on that page?
