Is the AUTODEP_PKGNAMES portion of the rpm-pld-autodep.patch, which
maps
dependencies back to package names, actually useful/used by PLD? The
No.
It has been turned off for Th, as it's an endless source of
annoyances
for cases where multiple packages can satisfy a given dependency.
ok, thanks.
The case of multiple Provides: could be detected during the mapping
and the mapping could be disabled (or build failed) when multiple
Provides:
are encountered.
Does that permit AUTODEP_PKGNAMES to be useful/used by Th?
Note that my personal POV is that the AUTODEP_PKGNAMES mapping is
insufficiently
general because the mapping applies only to Requires:, ignoring all
other dependencies.
But the mapping to package names could be attempted for other
dependencies too.
