[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: BuildRequires generator (#104)

[nim-nim]

> One thing that concerns me is that now when srpms require certain packages, this information is visible from the source repo. I can run repoquery to check that nothing requires what I intent to orphan etc. If we generate those, we should make sure the srpms we put in the source repo have the info in them available.

That's pretty much what I wrote in

if you want to do this kind of thing, you need either to redefine srpms as "current srpm + result of %buildrequires" or some other format between current srpms and rpms which is "current srpm + result of %buildrequires" .

And then just output this format during builds, store it in repos the usual way, query it with repoquery, etc. Since the solution proposed by @ffesti does not require any special new rpm header, as long as you output this format, I don't think the rest of the tooling needs any specific adaptation.

But, that's an enhancement. It's not strictly necessary to make dynamic buildrequires work.
