[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFC: rpmlib efi provides (#438)

[Jeff Johnson]

You might just as easily do

Requires: /sys/firmware/efi/

which has the immediate obvious advantage that no change is needed to any version of rpm.

I'm not at all sure why you chose to pollute the rpmlib() dependency namespace other than that it's an expedient hack.

(aside)
There is a need to generalize "probe" dependencies like this that should NEVER be provided by any package. That in fact has been done a decade ago in the unmentionable alternative version of rpm.
