of decompressing the rpm with rpm2cpio!
this speeds up the process and makes it more robust
- allow searching packaged files in multiple search folders
- add --strip-dirname option
- improve docs

Yeah, at this point the idea of doing an rpmbuild patch is not really
useful anymore. I was not aware that rpm was able to do all what is needed
to achieve what I proposed (smarter rpm regeneration).
new option would allow to
e.g., find in a way transparent to the build system employed by the user
(automake, cmake, etc) to understand if a .rpm needs to be regenerated
(because some of its packaged files have been changed) or not.
Would RPM maintainers accept such a patch?
Thanks for comments!
'm not sure how open/difficult is to
provide a patch to a basic utility like rpmbuild (since it's used by
million of people around)!!

Thanks a lot!

useful in my company where we build a large number of RPMs and have to deal
with inter-dependencies among them.

And maybe there are other cases as well.
However that approach might cover a wide range of use cases... what do you
think?
It would be nice to have some mechanism like that inside rpmbuild so that I
can do
rpmbuild -MD myspec.spec --output=myspec.d
and it generates such dependency file for GN
utility Y) but that would become
a mess very easily.
So here's my question:
Is there a way to ask rpm/rpmbuild to generate a list of a .spec file
dependencies (for its %install stanza)?
Something like -MT -MMD -MP -MF flags for GCC?
Thanks,
Francesco
