Try to avoid reporting package requirements set with 'Requires:' as build

accepted by the rpm tool.

(patch provided by Silvan Calarco:
autospec-1.4.16-dont_pass_root_to_rpmbuild.patch)
Don't pass alternative root directory to rpmbuild except when running
rpmbuild --nobuild to check dependencies. As the dependencies check is done
before, it is safe to pass --nodeps to non-simulated build commands.
This is needed because rpm has a strange behaviour when both --root is
passed and %_builddir is defined, as it uses passed %_builddir in prepare
phase, but adds root directory to %_builddir in the build phase.

Changes in version 0.9.1
Sun Dec 18 2005 Davide Madrisan <davide.madrisan(a)qilinux.it>
* libspec.lib
- made `rpmvars.init()' a public function; it's currently called by the
function `infofile.create()' instead of `rpmvars.solve()' to workaround a
crazy bug occurring while running autospec under bash 3.1
* pck-update plugin
- the function `repository.get_SRPMS_name()' has a new option `--server' to
set a single repository where to look for available packages;
this feature will permit autospec to manage a given set of ftp repositories
where SRPMS packages could be duplicated (even with different version
and/or release numbers)
* spec-create
- when creating a specfile preamble do substitute all the occurrences of the
package version with the string `%{version}` in the value automatically
assigned to `Source:'
* autospec (frontend)
- do exist with an error message if the configuration file `~/.autospec' is
not found or not readable by the user running autospec
* documentation
- rpm4QiLinux-it-HOWTO: an example of a working personal configuration file
for QiLinux contributors has been added
* configuration file
- added a short help message at the top of the file
* Makefile
- make dist-rpm rule: do not copy the tarball created by `make dist' to the
source directory for rpm, do move it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 0.9.0
Sat Dec 10 2005 Davide Madrisan <davide.madrisan(a)qilinux.it>
* configuration file
- the variables listed below are now vectors
- ftp_rw_server
- ftp_rw_user
- ftp_rw_passwd
- ftp_rw_port
- ftp_rw_passive_mode
to support multiple repositories (both servers and directories) while
uploading packages
- for the same reason the variable `ftpdir_rw_old' is now a vector
- `ftpdir_rw_rpms' renamed to `ftp_rw_rpms_dir'
- `ftpdir_rw_srpms' renamed to `ftp_rw_srpms_dir'
- new numeric variable `ftp_rw_server_num_default', pointing to the server
where new born packages will be uploaded

(thanks to Alessandro Secco (alessandro.secco(a)tiscali.it) for notifying
me of the problem)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* pck-update plugin
- action 10: do use the `delete' command instead of `rm'
(thanks to Alessandro Secco for identifying the problem and fixing it)
- small fix required by bash 3.1
* autospec
- yet another (small) fix for the `--eval' command
- added the `--server' option which tells autospec what repository must be
selected when uploading packages
(i.e. --server=n, where n is a positive interger, means that `n' is the
(zero-based) index of the ftp server set via the configuration variable
`ftp_rw_server', that is `ftp_rw_server[n]')
* Makefile
- exit with error if the NEWS file has not been updated
- fixed target `uninstall' (was out of synk)
- most of targets reworked
* i18n
- english and italian translation updated
* documentation

Changes in version 0.5.3
Fri Mar 25 2005 Davide Madrisan <davide.madrisan(a)qilinux.it>
* pck-extract plugin
- fixed the srpm file check regexpr
- fixed a couple of problems in the i18n support
* pck-update plugin
- do not execute `eval' on every `%define' directive: it give no usable info
and could lead to security issues
- fixed the regexpr used to set the `SRPM_PATCH' variable when the right
value in the specfile is an URL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 0.5.2
Mon Mar 21 2005 Davide Madrisan <davide.madrisan(a)qilinux.it>
* pck-update plugin
- added support for conditional rpm variable (like `%{?foo}')
- updated `resolve_rpmvars()' to support a specfile scenario like this:
%define majversion %(echo %version | cut -d. -f 1-2)
Name: libavifile
Version: 0.7.41
...
http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/avifile/avifile-%majversion-%version.tar.gz
...
%files
%defattr(-,root,root)
%dir %{_libdir}/avifile-%{majversion}
%{_libdir}/avifile-%{majversion}/*
- better debug messages in `resolve_rpmvars()'
- display a warning if the `%{expand:%%define ...}' directive is found;
(implementation is yet missing)
- fixed the new upload scheme when uploading the same package (same version
and release numbers) multiple times
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes in version 0.5.1
Sun Mar 13 2005 Davide Madrisan <davide.madrisan(a)qilinux.it>
* pck-update plugin
- display a warning if the rpm macros `%configure', `%make', `%makeinstall'
`%makeoldinstall' are not used (but enabled in the configuration file)
while updating the specfile (--action 4)
- cosmetic changes in the output messages
- the code now does not assume that the specfile name is `%{name}.spec', but
looks in the srpm package for the real name
- once a rpm variable has been set, its value is used and never recalculated
looking in the specfile (optimization)
- the backup copies of old specfiles are now rotated before `--action 1' is
executed; this way an existing specfile is not overwritten in this step
(thanks to Massimo Pintore (massimo.pintore(a)qilinux.it) for the bug report)
- modified the regular expression used to find if every `%files' block has a
`%defattr' directive

`ftpdir_rw_old' is unset in the configuration file, otherwise do a backup

the command line options
- do not delete lines (%define, comments, ecc.) before the specfile preamble
- better algorithm for specfile %descriptions autoformatting ('-f' option),
