Provide a lists of RPMs installed by the PackageManager abstraction #1380

Open praiskup opened 5 months ago

praiskup commented 5 months ago

Mock should provide the list of RPM installation transactions that were done to prepare the build root. This would be used

to provide a software bill of materials,
to make the buildroot easily reproducible (the shape of buildroot heavily depends on the package installation order),
to separate the build dependency calculator from the final buildroot preparation that can be made "isolated" (no network connectivity), see #1358

Some notes:

the info provided by Mock should contain RPM locations, and hashes (e.g. in Copr, we allow re-building the same NEVRAs multiple times, so these are not unique)
