Just if we have "Source lines might depend on RPM macros which might depend on any BuildRequire'd" :) have you any example , Source lines ? Source lines should be immutable I remember put a ifdef in a source line for i386 and src.rpm wasn't equal for i386 and x86_64, but should, because we only export one of them. > Two shortcuts seem possible: > > (1) Limit the use of macros in Source lines, so that only a simple, > standard, perhaps pre-cached buildroot can be used. > > (2) Perhaps uglier: Just build an SRPM that contains everything in > dist-git + everything in the lookaside cache, and hope for the best ... > > Thoughts? > > Rich. > > -- > Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones > Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com > Fedora Windows cross-compiler.
