create-fake-rpm
Generate fake rpm.
This script creates empty RPM package to satisfy the dependencies.
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)".
You can install it using:
dnf install fake-python-somepackage-0-0.noarch.rpm
