Brett Okken commented on MRPM-47:
---------------------------------
This is an interesting idea.
It seems like there is no current duplication of effort. That is, no one would
currently list a dependency on an RPM.
Would we be able to accurately determine the rpm "package" name to include? It
may be more appropriate to declare the "requires" onto one of the "virtual
packages" that the dependent rpm "provides."
What to do with versions. Typically, best practice in maven dictates using
specific versions and not version ranges. Does that really make sense for RPMs?

> It'd be nice if there were some way to automatically pull generate RPM

> A few solutions to this approach might be:
> 1. Add any dependencies marked as provided as RPM Requires: <artifactId>
> 2. For any dependencies marked as provided, parse the dependency's pom and
> determine if it uses the RPM plugin and what the RPM name is.
> 3. Provide a way for users to disable / exclude this RPM auto-requirement
> resolution.
