Filtering Provides/Requires
 

Since this just came up and I'm working on an issue.

I need to filter from Provides/Requires everything in a file generated at the
end of the %install step. Is this possible with the tools listed in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering?
It's not obvious to me if it is. I can't use %filter_provides_in because I do
need to capture some but not all requires from those items.

Also, I'm afraid that my package installs binaries in /usr/bin, so it looks
like I couldn't use the above filters anyways. What to do?

In the past, I've written custom find-requires/find-provides scripts.
That's one option if you want to do all the heavy lifting yourself, then
you can disable the internal dependency generator in RPM. That should be
a last resort though - why exactly do you need to do this? :)
