Please add support for ignoring weak dependencies during dependency solving. This feature was implemented upstream in following commits: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/hawkey/commit/d2204a5 https://github.com/rpm-software-management/hawkey/commit/1241484
Could we have this feature backported to EPEL 7? It is needed by Koschei (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Koschei) to resolve dependencies the same way as mock in Fedora rawhide, which ignores weak deps. I can provide patch for the spec file if you like.
Can we please get this implemented? I can provide patch and/or become comaintainer if you don't have time to do that yourself.
I'll apply the patch as agreed via email.
