have a more centralized solution. Maybe an /etc/rpm/macros.perl with
macros for filtering private .so and unwanted perl(...)
provides/requires? At least until someone gets the time to implement a
better requires/provides facility in rpm (or redhat-rpm-config) itself
- at which point, these workarounds only need to be undone in one
place.
Heh. I actually sent that last note, then started going down the macro road myself... Initially I looked at just doing something specific to this, but broke it out and wrote something a touch more granular:
http://fedorapeople.org/~cweyl/macros.perl
With that in place, it's possible to stick a "%{?perl_default_filter}", say before %description, causing all private .so's to not be scanned by the requires scripts... It also prevents anything under %{_docdir} from being scanned for either prov or req. We can also filter things both at the file level (preventing them from being scanned) or at the generated req/dep level.
If the macros look sane, I'll open a RFE bug against the perl package to ask that it be bundled and delivered as /etc/rpm/macros.perl.
While this is aimed at solving our issues, it should make dealing with wonky auto req/provs much easier. :)
