In order to support maximum reuse from RPM spec files, we need a way to support handling RPM-ish architecture names and mapping them to architecture names that DPKG is aware...
When packages are split up into various subpackages, sometimes one part depends on another. debbuild doesn't seem to be picking up on these "self-dependencies" and setting up the Depends properly....
I've observed that directories that contain no files are silently dropped in debbuild, whereas rpmbuild will not do this. For example in a spec: ```rpm-spec %files %{_libexecdir}/foo/ ``` If `foo`...
RPM 4.13 has finalized its syntax for "boolean dependencies". This is dependency logic that allows for conditional evaluation of dependencies to pick the correct mix within a transaction. This means...
debbuild currently does not strictly evaluate file lists like rpmbuild does. This means it's possible for things to be missing from the file list and still have a successful build...
Since debbuild is capable of automatically generating dependencies (though it doesn't really do Provides yet), it would be useful to have support for filtering based on the standard filtering macros....
Distributors can handle creating an unversioned name if necessary.
I noticed with the Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Visual Studio Code YUM repositories that AppStream metadata is not present in the YUM repository metadata. This makes it impossible for software...
