[opensuse-buildservice] Support: in prjconf creates dependency loop
Hi, the documentation at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_prjconf says, that a package in the Keep: set is installed every time (even when building that very package). I assumed that this means, that packages in the Support: but not in the Keep: set are only used when building other packages. However, it does not work this way: https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?project=home%3Amichal-m%3Akernel%... There is an 'ignore-kabi' package in the project, and the prjconf contains Support: ignore-kabi The result is that the ignore-kabi package depends on itself and won't build. Is this a bug or feature? If it's a feature, what is the point of the Keep: keyword?

I think it only works if the ignore-kabi package is already built, because the subpacks calculation is done by checking the repository (which maybe is not a clever idea). So, remove the 'Support: ignore-kabi' again, wait until the package is built and then add it back.

Thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately the workaround is rather impractical if the project is going to be created by a script. So I'll change the kernel spec file to check for a macro instead of a file installed by another package, and define that macro in the prjconf.
