due to this question coming up from time to time, I wrote a little script that runs through the 
sources and collects information about the (devel-) packages used. There is no guarantee 
that the output is complete, but it gives a good start.

The script works/should work with RPM based distros but can be extended to support 
other package management software (e.g. apt). I have only tested in on openSUSE. I'll add 
it to the repo in the contrib directory shortly. Here's the list of packages for openSUSE 15.1 
on my box:


akonadi-server-devel-18.12.3-lp151.3.4.1.x86_64
