A) Please do not use the release numbers for your own use. Version: %{version} Release: 9.6x.1 I need to use the release numbers for when I rollout new dependencies and new spec files. You really should have called this Version: %{version}-9.6x.1 B) Why not put all my dependency programs into a directory (perhaps even package) of their own: %{__prefix}/lib/rpm/depends then we can make %{__prefix}/lib/rpm/find-requires a link to %{__prefix}/lib/rpm/depends/find-requires C) The configure script checks for a different verision of patch then your Conficts do Conflicts: patch < 2.5 checking old version of patch... patch later then 2.2 found D) You define two macros which I do not see used anywhere: __share and _noPayloadPrefix I assume they are somehow "magic" E) I do not like your new dependencies rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 is needed by perl-5.00503-11 I would rather see the outername space used to denote the type of dependency then the inner one can denote the "attribute". solib(rpmlib::VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1 is needed by perl-5.00503-11
This bug is extremely old, as such I'm closing, if you feel any of the issues should be reopened against rpm 4.4.x in Fedora development please do so.
