Description : A tool to generate an (s)rpm with faked provides.
:
: It may be useful when you install some library/module/application manually -
: without having an RPM package.
:
: E.g., when you
:
: pip install somepackage
:
: And when some RPM package `Requires: python-somepackage` then /usr/bin/rpm
: refuses to install such package, because `python-somepackage` is not present
: on your system.
:
: RPMDB does not know what you know. So you can run:
:
: create-fake-rpm --build python-somepackage python3dist(somepackage)
:
: This create package `fake-python-somepackage-0-0.noarch.rpm` which provides:
: "python-somepackage" and "python3dist(somepackage)".

:
: dnf install fake-python-somepackage-0-0.noarch.rpm
