The julia language loads libraries at run time by using the .so filename.  We
work around this in the julia package by symlinking the needed sonames into
%{_libdir}/julia/, e.g.:

for lib in arpack cholmod dSFMT git2 fftw3_threads gmp mprf openlibm
openspecfun pcr2-8 umfpack
do
  soname=$(objdump -p %{_libdir}/lib${lib}.so | awk '$1 == "SONAME" { print 
$2}')
  ln -s ../${soname} %{buildroot}%{_libdir}/julia/lib${lib}.so
done

Now we want to automatically generate the needed rpm requires, e.g.:

libarpack.so.2()(64bit)

What I came up with is a rpm-julia-hooks package that julia would BR that
would use rpm fileattrs to generate these.  This feels a bit klunky having a
separate package just to do this task.

Does anyone else have any ideas?
