Dynamic BuildRequires
Hi,
Following some long discussions on rpm's and mock issue tracker¹, I
wrote the following to permit using BuildRequires, computed from the
content of the packaged archive:
https://github.com/nim-nim/mock-install
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nim/mock-install/
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1629371
A review would be appreciated
Usage is pretty simple:
%<--
BuildRequires: mock-install
[…]
%prep
[…] # Do something to compute yourbr1 … yourbrX
mock-install yourbr1 … yourbrX
%<--
I intend to integrate it in the next version of Fedora Go packaging
macros. I'm told the Java guys already do something similar within
javapackages-tools, but it's hidden inside java-specific python
packaging code, you can't really use it standalone for other kinds of
packaging.
Of course the utility is written in Go, so will only build on arches
that support Go but *shrug* at this point I don't care, feel free to
write something better if you want. The Go code is small and trivial.
