Reading the RPM documentation I can find, It's not clear to me if the Provides/Requires entries in the spec file behave the same as the ones generated by the find-provides and find-requires macros. Can someone clarify this for me? Particularly, I'm curious if these are legal entries in the spec file: Provides: foo.bar(fee) 1.2 Requires: fee.fi(fo) >= 2.3
