Thanks for the suggestion. That may work indeed, depending on rpm
operator priority. To be sure, you'd need lots of lispy parenthesis (as
the rpm documentation seems to recommend).
((((x >= 1.3.0) without x = 1.3.2) without (x = 1.3.4)) without (x = 1.5.7)
Unfortunately both solutions (no parenthesis, cross fingers, lots of
parenthesis, sure result) are quite human unfriendly.
For legibly and supporting updates, Don't. With a capital D. Just
write 3 distinct statements.
BuildRequires: x >= 1.3.0
BuildRequires: x != 1.3.0
BuildRequires: x != 1.5.7
Is != actually supported? It's not mentioned in the documentation:
https://rpm.org/user_doc/dependencies.html#requires
Also that construction allows different packages to satisfy each
require rather than ensuring that a single package matches them
all. It's only an issue if multiple versions are being packaged
but it does need to be considered.
