Because of new perl.req script, new build dependencies can be discovered too late for -bc. Thus sometimes I want to change the stage to -bi. I have to run something like this: buildreq --args="$(eval `grep -- -bc /usr/bin/buildreq | sed -e s,-bc,-bi,`; echo "$RPMARG")" package.spec Actually this can be an alias (buildreqi). Anyway, I believe there should be an easier way. 1) buildreq should be able to take its STAGE argument (-bc is the default) 2) buildreq should specially mark non-default STAGE invocation in specfile comment, something like: # Automatically added by buildreq on Mon Sep 22 2003 (-bi) 3) when run next time, buildreq should restore the STAGE argument from the comment. PS: "should" means "feature request" here.
Implemented in rpm-utils-0.7.3-alt1
