I think the new RPM feature should ignore these non-uniq Provides.
Another case is when the virtual provides exist in more independent source packages. Since rpmbuild see only the currently being built package, it would break the dependency. Is it possible to introduce a regualar expression based inhibitor like %__exclude_requires to control what dependency symbols this new feature should ignore? -- Petr _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
