Hi
* Currently, unless we cleanup all gems, the provides/requires in
RPM
will be duplicated. One set will be provided by the generator while the
other will come from the .spec file. I opened ticket for RPM [2]
requesting post-filtering of requires/provides, but this is not gonna
save us. On the other hand, duplicated provides/requires should cause no
harm.
It will be a little ugly, but it should work.
* We will need to learn how to filter/adjust the automatic
requires/provides in some cases. This should be probably documented in
guidelines as well.
I think there needs to be a possibility to change those auto-requires/provides
if necessary, but overall I really like the idea of dropping this explicit requires,
it was just a duplication anyways.
