I was kind of hoping Panu or some other RPM dev would notice the thread
and give a hint as to how painful it might be. I'm not entirely sure
how to get their attention otherwise.
I'm adding jzeleny into CC. Hopefully he will delegate this question to
someone from RPM team, who could elaborate.
Could you first be a bit more specific as to what exactly would you like rpm to
do? I haven't seen any specific proposals in this thread. in the thread. As for
minimizing the BRs, I believe the Base WG is the one you should talk to, as
they have already done some work in that area.
Thanks

Unfortunately the most important idea was stripped from the previous
discussion and it was:
"It actually is the norm to have additional build-time-deps just to run
testsuites (aka. %check).".
So what I would like to see (and Ralf probably meant) is something like
"BuildRequires(check): foo" (there were times when RPM allowed this
syntax, although probably just by mistake). Or probably "CheckRequires:
foo" might be even better. In this case, if you run something like
"rpmbuild --disable-check -ba ....", it would skip the %check section
and hence you would not need the check requires.
The %check could be even automatically disabled during the bootstrap phase.
