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.

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.
I thought this will be the answer ;) and this was probably the case per the comment 1. Anyway, I have reported this in GH
