file2pacDep(1rrp)

💖 file2pacDep — the rpmrebuild plugin that turns file deps into package deps 💖

okay bestie, welcome to file2pacDep(1rrp), a lil rpmrebuild plugin. She's here to do one thing and do it iconically: take your package's dependencies on files and glow them up into dependencies on packages. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

file2pacDep.plug — a plugin for rpmrebuild, to change file dependencies into package dependencies. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rpmrebuild --include file2pacDep.plug <packagename>
or
rpmrebuild --change-spec-requires="file2pacDep.sh [option]" <packagename>

the first form apply all changes

the second allow to choose which part to change, and plugin options

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea: this plugin replaces all of a package's files dependencies with package dependencies. fr fr, all of them. ✨

Like, a dependency on /bin/bash gets swapped into a dependency on the bash package. Same deal for libraries. no cap. 🫶

---

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• -f, --file — just apply changes on files with path (ex : /bin/bash) 📁
• -l, --lib — just apply changes on libraries file (ex : libc.so) 📚
• -h, --help — output help information about plugins option and exit. 🆘
• -v, --version — print plugin version and exit 👑
• -V, --forceversion — add a dependency to current version (>=) ⬆️

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

• file2pacDep.plug — is the 'include file' for a quicker use ⚡
• file2pacDep.sh — contains the code 🧠
• file2pacDep.plug.1 — is this man page 📖 (yes, the one you're reading, main character energy)

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

"normal" rpm dependencies are :

$ rpm -qR rpm
gawk
fileutils
textutils
mktemp
shadow-utils
popt = 1.6.4
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
ld-linux.so.2
libbz2.so.1
libc.so.6
libpopt.so.0
libpthread.so.0
librpm-4.0.4.so
librpmbuild-4.0.4.so
librpmdb-4.0.4.so
librpmio-4.0.4.so
librt.so.1
libz.so.1
/bin/sh
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.3)
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.0)
librt.so.1(GLIBC_2.1)

now build a modified package:

rpmrebuild --include file2pacDep.plug rpm

and the result is :

$ rpm -qpR rpm-4.0.4-7x19.i386.rpm
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1
popt = 1.6.4
bash
bzip2-libs
fileutils
gawk
glibc
mktemp
popt
rpm
shadow-utils
textutils
zlib
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1

look at her go, all those file paths turned into tidy lil package names 💖
