Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-4257:
----------------------------------

Ah, I wish someone had mentioned *Autoprov:no* months ago! :D

Anyway, your suggestion looks good. I applied it locally and rebuilt, and my checkProvides.sh script confirmed that there are now only two Provides, with no additional garbage brought into the rpm.

> [~vkadlcik] said that it is because rh-eclipse46-devstudio offers some package which rh-eclipse46 needs, so yum decides to use devstudio as library.
> He said that the best practice for end-user application like rh-eclipse46-devstudio is to have less amount of stuff in "rpm -q --provides". Rh-eclipse46 provides 4 packages, devstudio provides 539 packages.
