Thanks for your reply. I understood.

In my understanding, I'm not sure my understanding is correct or not, post-build-checks ignores package dependencies for installation test, but I guess 'Requires(post)' packages are required for pre/post installation scriptlets tests.

I hope it can be configurable that 'Requires' or 'Requires(post)' installation.

Thanks, UkJung

I observed that, if I use 'Requires: b' in a.spec, obs does not install b package while build a. But if I use 'Requires(post): b' in a.spec, obs install b package while build a.

My question is that why obs handles 'Require' and 'Require(post)' differently.

Normally they shouldn't get installed at all, as they are runtime dependencies. But for SUSE builds we do some post-build package checking and one of the checks is if the built packages are installable or not. As installing the packages executes the pre/postinstall scriptlets, we need to have the Requires(post) packages installed for that check.

(Actually it should be configurable in the project config if the Requitre(post) packages should get installed or not, but I haven't added that option yet.)

Cheers, Michael.
