Ok thank you very much that looks very useful: it is quite a bit change to our packaging so I think I would like to leave the automatic dependency scripts for the next update of the guidelines after this one, if that is ok - that will give us a bit more time to test and play with them.
Sure.
Presumbly ghc should own those scripts?
Yes or maybe better in a separate small package that is required by ghc to make it easier to update them.
I am not yet sure, what the impact of %define _use_internal_dependency_generator 0 is for ghc packages.
Naive question: what would be the consequence of leaving _use_internal_dependency_generator turned on? Turning off also disables all C library dependency checking? Anyway from what you say we can tweak the scripts to do the write thing.
If it is turned on, then __find_requires is not used. According to this https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/FilteringAutomaticDependencie... instead of rpmdeps maybe /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires should be used. I will ask about this on fedora-devel.
