I'm reviewing a submission of an ocaml program. The spec file has
this at the top:
%global _use_internal_dependency_generator 0
%global __find_requires /usr/lib/rpm/ocaml-find-requires.sh
%global __find_provides /usr/lib/rpm/ocaml-find-provides.sh
as required by
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:OCaml#Requires_and_provides.
But it seems that those lines are not only unnecessary, but
detrimental. Taking them off generates the same Requires/Provides
(due to /usr/lib/rpm/fileattrs/ocaml.attr), plus additional ones. In
the case of the package I'm reviewing, it's innocuous. But I have an
ocaml package that I maintain where the extra Requires/Provides
generated by omitting those lines appear to be significant.
Is the wiki correct? Are those lines still needed for some reason?
Or is the wiki out of date?
