[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] [RFC] Automatically generate deps for dlopen() deps? (Issue #3032)

[Florian Festi]

We welcome an automatic way to add these sort of dependencies automatically without packagers needing to care. I don't have a deeper insight or strong opinion whether these ELF entries are the best way of doing that. Having this as part of the (C) code is probably a good idea if upstreams can be bothered to add them.

Rpm has file attributes which run the automatic dependency generators. E.g. https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/blob/master/fileattrs/elf.attr for ELF files. There are various ways to add this to RPM. Having a separate file attribute, extend the one above or even get this integrated into the elfdeps utility: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/blob/master/tools/elfdeps.c

The later is probably the best solutions as it avoid opening all these ELF files a second time.
