A couple of comments to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering
1) Usage
I suggest changing "MUST only be used with packages which meet the following
criteria:" to "MUST only be used with packages which meet one of the following
criteria:" as both can't be satisifed by any package.
2) Compatibility
A note/tip about older/other distro (e.g. EPEL) compatibility would be nice so
applying this stuff wouldn't require specfile forking or fragile
distro/version checks. For example wrapping stuff in %{?filter_setup: ...}
works (i.e. gets bypassed when not available), e.g. like:
%{?filter_setup:
%filter_provides_in /some/path
%filter_setup}
