- Exact packagesnames need to be in BuildRequires if automated BuidRequires
installation is to be done (more automatic installation later). Maybe urpmi can
be tought to figure out provides packages, but at the moment it can't:
[root@taz root]# urpmi libjpeg-devel
no package named libjpeg-devel
[root@taz root]# urpmi jpeg-devel
no package named jpeg-devel
[root@taz root]# urpmi libjpeg62-devel
everything already installed
urpmi only understands libjpeg62-devel
Yes, but urpmi should (I say should as it was running like that before but now
it only install dependancies) allow you to install the source package as :
sudo /usr/sbin/urpmi /SRPMS/rpmtools-2.3-22mdk.src.rpm
will install or upgrade package needed according to BuildRequires.
In short, I'm doing it something like this:
for i in `rpm -qpR to_be_built.src.rpm`
do
/usr/sbin/sudo --auto $i urpmi_output_of_to_be_built.src.rpm.txt
done
rpm --rebuilt to_be_built.src.rpm
for i in `cat urpmi_output_of_to_be_built.src.rpm.txt | grep ## | cut
-d -f1`
do
sudo /usr/sbin/urpme --auto $i
done
I need to fix why currently it only install the dependancies and not the src.rpm
itself...
Exactly. As you see above I don't need to be able to install the
src.rpm, I just need urpmi to be able to install the (build-)
dependancies of the src.rpm.

PS: I found out today that the script above _can_ be dangerous -- when
inbetween there are some updated packages, (say bzip2 got updated) and
it needs to install libbzip2_1-devel (and also updated libbzip2, because
urpmi figures out the dependancy -- libbzip2_1-devel is newer and it
updated libbzip2 to the same level). Then later on both libbzip2_1-devel
and libbzip2 get removed... bummer.
