So, can we please store this already internally available

information from the -bb step into the binary RPM? This is IMHO one
really essential but still missing feature in RPM 5...
Jeff, I really need your assistance here as I'm unable to figure out
in the sources how to actually implement this. I do not well enough
understand the internal processings.
It's fine for me if the actual implementation is still under
#ifdef/#endif for OpenPKG (in case you personally dislike the
idea), but
I really have to come up with a solution for this as this feature is a
very long-standing shortcoming we are faced with since years and
hence I
really would appreciate to still resolve this for 5.0.
So, can you help out, Jeff? What do I have to patch to get the
"BuildRequire" tags from the .spec to be available via the query
variables BUILDREQUIRENAME/BUILDREQUIREFLAGS/BUILDREQUIREVERSION from
the *binary* RPM and the *installed* package?
On today's TODO, all my other replies were at 80mph on lappie through
gsm,
or with champagne glass in hand ;-)
coffee first ...
73 de Jeff
