== Summary ==
Add possibility to generate build-time dependencies within RPM spec
file and teach RPM and mock how to handle this.
I am very excited about this change. Count with me for Python. Is there
a (draft) API to start coding against?
In Python, there's an effort to enable things like this generator, e.g.
[PEP 517].
Here, gathering BuildRequires is a two-step process:
- the "build backend" is specified in declarative metadata;
- then the build backend can query backend-specific metadata for
additional BuildRequires.
Is that possible with the current plans?
BTW: New versions of Python's usual build system (setuptools/setup.py)
will be forward compatible with PEP 517. Please do not write generators
that use setup.py directly.
