[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: drop rpmlib() poisoning from --short-circuit'ed binaries (Issue #3091)

[Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek]

Just a watermark would be much better than _status quo_.

Actually, I don't think this would be so bad. There are countless ways in which somebody can mess up a package build. In particular, just put wrong files or badly compiled files in the package and there isn't much that the build system can do against that. If somebody is savvy enough to successfully set a build system that uses some form of caching and short-circuit, why would this be a problem? I think trying to prevent this is similar to trying to prevent somebody from using inappropriate build flags, i.e. not possible to actually implement and actually not useful.
