Yes, it is, Martin. And unfortunately it may never see the light of day in openSUSE.
Why? Because:
1 is not much of a problem; 2 should be reviewed carefully to see if it's worth the effort; and 3 the Factory maintainers won't be happy about it.
Someone (maybe my future self) could try to patch it, somehow. However, it's too much fun to have, and I'm not willing to play with that, at least for now. I have other things with higher priority to get done first.
But why is it ignored even by "
RPMexperts" when the RPM package development on SUSE relies heavily onrpmdevtools?_?Isn't it strange, a pity or even a shame ?_?
Well, I can't speak for SUSE packagers with authority. But you might be surprised that openSUSE package development can ignore
rpmdevtools's existence completely.Is there any helpful tool that we can incorporate to our workflows? Sure it does. Is any of them essential? I don't think so. Taking myself as an example, I only crossed paths with
rpmdevtoolsafter a long time working with openSUSE packages.We have our whole tool box around OBS. So, yeah "RPM experts" have been ignoring it around here, and must probably will keep doing so.
With the upcoming RPM 4.18 release, perhaps things will look brighter. We'll see.
