<p>Hi Florian,</p>
<p>Thank you for looking into this.</p>
<p>Let me explain the use-case of how I used this "option" before. I have a<br>
script that sometimes check upstream websites for some software that I<br>
rely on and that I have custom build to enable options that fedora may<br>
not enable by default. If some new packages become available I want to run<br>
a batch build job during the night to compile all new packages.</p>
<p>Something like:<br>
for s in *.spec<br>
do<br>
rpmbuild --clean -ba $s ||:<br>
done</p>
<p>I used the rpmbuild --nobuild "feature" as a quick check to make sure that<br>
all build dependencies for all packages are met without doing any actual<br>
building.</p>
<p>With the change from 4.14 -> 4.15 this no longer worked as before. I can<br>
see that there are alternatives like "-bb --nobuild". I think my<br>
suggestion is actually quite clean for my use-case: an option that only<br>
runs the check build-deps part of the logic.</p>
<p>I hope this makes sense.</p>
<p>With kind regards,</p>
<p>Sacha</p>
