[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Add "local_generator" (PR #2734)

[Florian Festi]

Hmm, I guess we are taking about two different use cases. You are thinking about a dependency generator that is in the package only and not installed ever. For that you want a unique name that won't ever clash with installed file attributes.

I am thinking about actually shipping the dependency generator but also using it in the package itself. For that you need to make sure that it is only run once during the build - even if the package is actually installed in the system building the package. The you'd want the names to be the same and RPM should overwrite the installed one with the one in the package.

I guess we do want both use cases to work.
