De: "Panu Matilainen" > See http://rpm.org/user_doc/dependency_generators.html Panu, Thanks for the pointer. I did know it must be documented somewhere :) I have more questions First, what is the exact point of %__NAME_provides_opts? I had already used %__go_provides %{_rpmconfigdir}/go.prov --root "%{buildroot}%{gopath}" --version "%{version}-%{release}" and the argument passing seemed to work (in rawhide), or is there a special reason to use %__NAME_provides_opts instead? Will %__NAME_provides_opts appear as arguments or env variables? Then, there is the question of the versionning I can easily emit now provides such as golang(gopackagename) = %{version}-%{release} However go is heavily git-oriented and some of its "versions" do not automap to rpm. What I'd actually like to emit is: — for proper monotonic versions golang(gopackagenameA) = %{version}-%{release} — for special versions such as alphaB golang(gopackagenameA)(vermod=alphaB) = %{version}-%{release} — For git commits golang(gopackagenameA)(commit=commitB) = %{version}-%{release} #master is implied or golang(gopackagenameA)(commit=commitB)(branch=branchC) = %{version}-%{release} And have a package that provides golang(gopackagenameA)(commit=commitB)(branch=branchC) resolve for any of golang(gopackagenameA) golang(gopackagenameA)(commit=commitB) golang(gopackagenameA)(branch=branchC) golang(gopackagenameA)(commit=commitB)(branch=branchC) golang(gopackagenameA)(branch=branchC)(commit=commitB) And a package that provides golang(gopackagenameA)(vermod=alphaB) resolve for any of golang(gopackagenameA) golang(gopackagenameA)(vermod=alphaB) Is there a way to do this cleanly in rpm without emitting all the possible combinations in the autoprovider? If there is no other possibility than emitting all the possible combinations, do the list have any syntax preference?
