Description Alan Cox 2000-10-15 20:16:38 UTC 
rpm -bp checks build dependancies which seems silly, since it makes it
unneccessarily annoying to unpack an archive you don't even want to build.
The actual build stage should IMHO do the check/error
Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2000-10-15 22:52:40 UTC 
Add --nodeps if you wish to disable build dependency checking.
Comment 2 Alan Cox 2000-10-18 16:44:23 UTC 
Thats the whole issue. Its not 'build dependacy checking' its 'source file
unpack dependancy 
checking' we have implemented
