how to make rpmbuild automatically generate require >= and not =

Question

I rpmbuild a package and afterwards I find that it requires python(abi) = 2.5 . I don't want to use

AutoReqProv: no

to suppress generation of requirements completely, I just want to make it require python(abi) >= as I think this makes more sense.

How to do it?

Answer 1

The auto generated dependencies in rpm are written to stdout to be read by rpm to include in a package.

The helper scripts are configured through macros, and one can invoke a helper, and then post filter with something like sed to change the dependencies read by rpm.
