I'm still curious if this elegant shell code could be used to
enhance the
current tests f-r has. As noted, they are extremely expensive, in a
class
of it's own besides the build and install tasks.
I don't think so, f-r works on packages built from a source rpm. This on
the other hand is a brute-force search on all installed packages.
I'm sure we'd find more packages if people with different sets of packages
gave it a try. For instance I run the Xfce spin and tend to do software
development on this laptop.
However, a check similar or identical to the one in f-r could be made more
convenient to package maintainers via a fedpkg check-ownership command for
instance. If that's not already available, I'm not very good at looking up
that sort of thing...
Cheers,
Dridi
PS. define elegant, I'd say it's rather hackish :)
