Closed by nphilipp. Opened by scoady.

Story Time

As a developer, I want an easy way to check whether or not a specfile is using some of rpmautospec's features so that I don't have to do it myself.

Acceptance Criteria

  • rpmautospec exports a new function rpmautospecEnabled or similar/better
  • this function checks for the existence of either %autorelease or %autochangelog
  • the signature should probably be something like:
    -- input: a specfile, which macro to check for (default should check both)
    -- output: a simple boolean
  • tests written
  • documentation added explaining the new function

def specfile_uses_rpmautospec(specfile: str, check_autorelease: bool = True, check_autochangelog: bool = True) -> bool:
    ...
