3.5.3. Software Collection Library Support in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7

When building your Software Collection for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, use the %__provides_exclude_from macro to prevent scanning certain files for automatically generated RPM symbols.

For example, to prevent scanning .so files in the %{_libdir} directory, add the following lines before the BuildRequires or Requires tags in your Software Collection spec file:

%if %{?scl:1}%{!?scl:0}
  # Do not scan .so files in %{_libdir}
  %global __provides_exclude_from ^%{_libdir}/.*.so.*$
%endif

The functionality is part of RPM support for automatic Provides and Requires, see Section 2.10.5, “Software Collection Automatic Provides and Requires and Filtering Support” for more information.
