> I'm still curious if this elegant shell code could be used to enhance the current tests f-r has. As noted, they are extremely expensive, in a class of it's own besides the build and install tasks.

I don't think so, f-r works on packages built from a source rpm. This on the other hand is a brute-force search on all installed packages.

I'm sure we'd find more packages if people with different sets of packages gave it a try. For instance I run the Xfce spin and tend to do software development on this laptop.

However, a check similar or identical to the one in f-r could be made more convenient to package maintainers via a fedpkg check-ownership command for instance. If that's not already available, I'm not very good at looking up that sort of thing...

PS. define elegant, I'd say it's rather hackish :)
