Description Kristoffer Grundström 2019-08-21 18:31:42 CEST 
Description of problem: I think it's time to introduce using python packages as build dependencies if they're not already ported and packaged the normal way. Such an example would be python-plyvel. That package cannot be found with urpmq or dnf, but it can however be found by searching with pip search plyvel. This would make programs easier to port and saves time.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.14.2.1

How reproducible: All the time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a spec file.
2. Add python-pip dependencies to the spec file when a package cannot be found with urpmi/urpmq/urpmf or dnf.
3. Open a terminal.
4. Login as root.
5. cd to the place where the spec file is located.
6. Run urpmi nameofspecfile.spec --auto and it will install pip dependencies as well.
7. Build the program that needs the pip dependencies.

You can use pyp2rpm to create rpms from pypi.

All pkgs we use building must be available in our official repo. If something is missing, it needs be imported first to be able to build others.

And as a side note, we have plyvel available:
$ urpmq -Yf plyvel
python2-plyvel-1.1.0-1.mga8.x86_64
python3-plyvel-1.1.0-1.mga8.x86_64

Closing as WONTFIX.
