Hi,
when working on finally fixing Trojitá to build (it had been FTBFS since
F34, so removal was impending), I have noticed that the Akonadi contacts
plugin was not getting built because of missing transitive build
dependencies:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2046299
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2046310
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2046574
They all have in common that FooConfig.cmake wants the CMake package Bar,
but foo-devel does not Require bar-devel. So building against Foo does not
work out of the box, only when manually BRing also bar-devel.
The thing is, we have had for a while AutoProvides scripts for CMake that
automatically let bar-devel Provide cmake(Bar). This is already used in many
places. What is missing, though, is corresponding AutoRequires, so that foo-
devel automatically Requires: cmake(Bar) if FooConfig.cmake requires Bar.
Would it not make sense to add such an AutoRequires script?
