Exactly, here an example of a Koji build done with _isa'ed
BuildRequires (taken from the link I've posted before):
$ rpm -qpR libguac-client-vnc-0.6.0-4.fc17.src.rpm
cairo-devel(x86-64)
gnutls-devel(x86-64)
libguac-devel(x86-64) = 0.6.0
libvncserver-devel(x86-64)
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
This means I can't rebuild the src.rpm on an i686. This is wrong.
If what you say above was true it would be a problem. But it doesn't
work like that.
True, it doesn't really work like that, but %_isa in BuildRequires
adds a confusing problem nevertheless.
BuildRequires in the spec file become the src.rpm's Requires.
If those Requires are arch-specific, you cannot use tools like
yum-builddep or "rpm" to query the package's build requirements.
You would need to reconstruct the src.rpm always for the target
arch (not only if there are arch-conditional BuildRequires).
The src.rpm is built on an arbitrary build host, and Fedora publishes
a single src.rpm build in the sources repo. It's just lame if the user
of an x86_64 installation downloads src.rpm packages, which contain
x86-32, ppc or other arch-specific dependencies. That doesn't add any
value at all.
$ rpmbuild --rebuild globus-common-14.9-3.fc18.src.rpm
That doesn't evaluate the src.rpm's Requires as yum-builddep or "rpm -qpR" do.
So, why obfuscate the BuildRequires and the src.rpm's Requires?
No, rpmbuild does not use src.rpm requires for determining
build-requires because they're no good for that. The requires of src.rpm
only reflect what build-requires were active during the creation of that
specific src.rpm file, not what its build-requires for some other build
on other arch, different --with/--without switches etc might be.
... build succeeds ... because the BRs needed on the build system's architecture are there
Nasty, isn't it? The package specifies '(x86-32)' requirements, but you've
just built for '(x86-64)'.
See above, you're misunderstanding the meaning of src.rpm requires.
