Re: [Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Add possibility to generate Requires(meta) by a dependency generators (#1164)

2020-04-06 Thread Panu Matilainen
The generator mechanism needs to learn to deal with multiple files in a go, 
preserving the per-file nature of the resulting data. We're not making any 
changes that would make that transition any more difficult that it is, so this 
is no way 4.16 material. 

In principle, while some new developments tend to land between alpha and beta 
releases,
an alpha should generally be considered feature complete. The road to stability 
is bugfixes, not new last-minute features :slightly_smiling_face:

[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Add possibility to generate Requires(meta) by a dependency generators (#1164)

2020-04-05 Thread Igor Gnatenko
Technically, by request I mean to be able to generate meta, pre, post and such, 
basically Requires with qualifier.

There are 2 ways how to do it:

* Just let scripts to emit `(meta|pre|post)` in the beginning/end of the string 
and parse it
* Create a new __foo_requires_meta and such in *.attr files

I think first way is much simpler to implement and to use (because usually you 
know this information from the same files and you want to avoid re-parsing 
files over and over.

I would appreciate if this could go into 4.16.
