#45 Make BuildRequires available
Closed: Fixed 6 years ago Opened 7 years ago by till.

Currently mdapi does not provide access to BuildRequires, please add it to make it possible to figure out all dependencies of a package/all packages depending on a package via mdapi. Sometimes BuildRequires do not turn into Requires, for example when the BR is only needed to build docs.


This information does not seem to be in the metadata of a yum repository. Am I missing it?

It is in the source RPM repo.

I'm looking at the three sqlite DBs in http://ftp.lip6.fr/ftp/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/releases/24/Everything/source/tree/repodata/

but I'm not seeing any BR field in there.

The requires of a source RPM are the BRs of the package. Maybe they
could be added as package of arch src to
https://apps.fedoraproject.org/mdapi/rawhide/requires/SDL-devel instead
of making a separate endpoint for BRs.

I went with the new data source (ie branch) and described them in the index page.
