external:pypi:foo should generate python3.9dist(foo) provides too

[xsuchy]

This is automatic requires/provides handled by Python and we should generate it with create-fake-rpm as well.

@hroncok Do you know how I can retrieve the current X.Y for "pythonX.Ydist" string? Or even better the whole ""pythonX.Ydist" string?

[hroncok]

From the layout of the installed package. See the python rpm dist generator, you can feed the dist info path to the stdin.

I can draft a proof of concept later today.

[hroncok]

pythondist_path="$(rpm --eval '%__pythondist_path')"
pythondist_provides="$(rpm --eval '%__pythondist_provides')"

find / 2> /dev/null | egrep "$pythondist_path" | while read path; do rpm -qf "$path" >& /dev/null || echo "$path"; done | $pythondist_provides

This should give you all provides of all Python packages not already packaged as RPMs.

It requires python3-rpm-geneartors to be installed. If you want to execute this from a bootstrap chroot, it needs further changes.

Obviously, it is naïve and very slow on large chroots.
