This was exactly what I was looking for. I will look into /usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt-* for more interesting hints.
 
Thx,

Hi, is there a way to get access to the required and provided list of packages via a macro? 
If you really want "packages", rather than the {N,EVR,F} dependency arrays,
then you'll have to do some scripting.

Using: 
rpm -qa --qf 'Requires: %{requires}\n' 
does not seem to the job. I only get one item printed.
 
Yes.

Try
rpm -qa --qf '[Requires: %{REQUIRENAME}%{REQUIREFLAGS:depflags}%{REQUIREVERSION}\n]'

which is --requires (from /usr/lib/rpm/rpmpopt-*) slightly modified.

the [...] is an iterator over all values int the array, the :depflags specifies
the output format, and dependencies are a 3-tuple of {N,EVR,F}.

Is that what you want?
