SYNOPSIS

10       [--build] PACKAGE_NAME PROVIDES

DESCRIPTION

13       This script creates empty RPM package to satisfy the dependencies.
14
15       It may be useful when you install some library/module/application
16       manually - without having an RPM package. E.g., when you
17
18           pip install somepackage
19
20       And when some RPM package Requires: python-somepackage then
21       /usr/bin/rpm refuses to install such package, because
22       python-somepackage is not present on your system. RPMDB does not know
23       what you know. So you can run:
24
25           create-fake-rpm --build python-somepackage python3dist(somepackage)
26
27       This create package fake-python-somepackage-0-0.noarch.rpm which
28       provides: "python-somepackage" and "python3dist(somepackage)". You can
29       install it using:
30
31           dnf install fake-python-somepackage-0-0.noarch.rpm

33       !!!! WARNING !!!!
34
35       This is a big gun. You can easily shot yourself in a leg. Do not use
36       this tool unless you know what you are doing. And if you know what you
37       are doing - then think twice before you use it. You can easily destroy
38       your machine with this tool.
