Description Severin Gehwolf 2015-05-29 10:01:42 UTC

Description of problem:
The thermostat package needs to symlink some of its own artifacts (com.redhat.thermostat:*) during a build. However, xmvn-subst only works if artifacts are actually installed. It would be ideal if xmvn-subst could be used for symlinking external deps as well as reactor artifacts.

We currently work around this problem by adding a self-BR. However this is cumbersome for version upgrades since we need to:
- remove the self BR (or disable it via some global spec variable)
- build
- re-add self BR
- rebuild

It's especially a problem for building RPMs via CI.

Implemented upstream in commit dbf0e17.
https://github.com/mizdebsk/xmvn/commit/dbf0e17

Comment 2 Mikolaj Izdebski 2015-06-02 07:17:20 UTC

Verified upstream using xmvn-subst-2.5.0-0.57.gitecfe4f5.noarch

Comment 3 Mikolaj Izdebski 2015-10-28 17:35:29 UTC

Fixed in xmvn-2.5.0-1

Comment 4 Mikolaj Izdebski 2015-10-28 18:03:05 UTC

I believe that this feature is included in xmvn-2.5.0-1,
which is available in Fedora Rawhide, so I am closing this bug now.

The build which includes the feature can be found at Koji:
