As MeeGo's default package management system is based on RPM, MeeGo SDK chooses to RPM as the packaging format for deployment and App store uploading.

App store clients will most probably use zypper to install applications, so the RPM created by SDK packager should be able to installed by zypper.
Currently zypper can't install the rpm generated by rrpmbuild. We must debug into zypper and rrpmbuild to see what's the problem.
After thorough debugging into zypper, Qiang Zhang and I found that zypper expect binary RPMs cantain the sourcerpm tag. So the solution is very simple: add the sourcerpm tag for the binary rpm.

Enhence rrpmbuild to parse requires/provides from spec file and fill the package with this information.
Parse requires/provides in spec file and fill RPMTAG_PROVIDEFLAGS, RPMTAG_PROVIDEVERSION, RPMTAG_PROVIDENAME, RPMTAG_REQUIRENAME,RPMTAG_REQUIREVERSION, RPMTAG_REQUIREFLAGS properly.
GPL enforces us to provide source code. Generating source rpm is an convenient way to fulfil this requirement
rrpmbuild will be enhanced to generate source rpm
rrpmbuild will be enhanced to fill this information into the package.
