Packaging talk:AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering

Is there any way to filter from Provides and Requires everything included in a file? I have to generate this at the end of %install.

The instructions provided for EPEL don't work, at least for EPEL5. Something like this (from Marcela Maslanova) would be better:

cat << \EOF > %{name}-req %{__perl_requires} $* |\ sed -e '/perl(the)$/d' EOF
 * 1) Filter unwanted Requires:
 * 1) !/bin/sh

%define __perl_requires %{_builddir}/perl-ldap-%{version}/%{name}-req chmod +x %{__perl_requires} --Verdurin 10:09, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Please note RPM 4.9 allows new filtering style that takes precedence over the %filter_* style. E.g. Perl packages already use it. Ppisar
