[libvirt] [PATCH] build: make autobuild require rpm build deps

I spent far too long on a new machine trying to figure out why ./autobuild.sh failed during the rpm build failure (complaining that libvirt_parthelper was supposed to be packaged but was not built), and finally traced it to a missing parted-devel installation. I don't know why we have --nodeps in place, but removing it would make rpmbuild error out much sooner, and with a much less cryptic failure case. * autobuild.sh: Drop --nodeps from rpmbuild lines.

I'm okay ditching this patch if someone can explain why the --nodeps line should be there.
It is basically an artifact/limitation of the way the automated builder software works. We could make it detect whether it is run under the builder env though - if $AUTOBUILD_COUNTER is not set, then use --nodeps, otherwise skip it. That'd make it do the right thing for developers Daniel -- |: http://berrange.com -o- http://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: http://entangle-photo.org -o- http://live.gnome.org/gtk-vnc :|

I'll spin up a v2 doing just that. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
