MODULEMD-GENERATE-MACROS(1)

✨ MODULEMD-GENERATE-MACROS 💅

okay bestie, so we're talking about modulemd-generate-macros — it's a lil command-line tool, a Python manual-page situation, and honestly it's giving backstage-pass energy for module builds. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

modulemd-generate-macros [-h] [--disttag DISTTAG] [--conflicts-from-file CONFLICTS_FROM_FILE] yaml

that's the whole shape of it: a couple optional flags, and then one yaml argument that is not optional. she needs her yaml. periodt. 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the way this works is: it generates the module-build-macros SRPM package, and ngl that package is a central piece for building modules — like, main character of the buildroot, no cap. 👑

The important bit: it should be present in the buildroot before any other module packages are submitted to be built. So it goes first. She's the opener, everyone else is the support act. 🎤

• yaml — the path to your modulemd YAML file. that's it, that's the argument, bestie. point her at the yaml and she's off. 🍓

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --disttag DISTTAG — the disttag. yeah. that's the whole description. she said what she said. 🫶
• --conflicts-from-file CONFLICTS_FROM_FILE — path to a file that holds conflicts definitions and their reasoning (the receipts, if you will 📝). heads up: the content of this file gets simply pasted into the specfile. like, no parsing, no vibes-check, just straight up pasted in there. so whatever you put in that file is what shows up. lowkey iconic, highkey a thing you should know. 😭

also -h is chillin' in the synopsis up there, doing the classic help-me flag thing. 🌈
