Actually there is already other ticket requesting deduplication: http://rpm.org/ticket/80 This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle. Changing version to '22'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora22 Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. I would like to see this feature implemented. This is probably long forgotten, but I'd be still interested in this feature. RFE's are better filed upstream. |
It would be nice, if Requires/Provides could be postprocessed. I've got 2 usecases in mind: 1) I am working on dependency generator for RubyGems. As soon as this generator is deployed, it will result in duplicated Requires/Provides. One set is the original Requires/Provides specified in .spec file and the other are the automatically generated Requires/Provides. If there would be possible Provides/Requires postprocessing, I could remove the duplicated entries. 2) In software collections, we have to modify Requires/Provides to include scl prefix, e.g. Requires: %{scl_prefix}foo. If there would be postprocessing possible, scl-utils could deploy its postprocessing filter and prepend the prefixes automatically. There might be other usecases as well.
