      .The `--excludeWeakdeps` and `--instLangs` options from `%packages` have been removed

      In RHEL-10, the `--excludeWeakdeps` and `--instLangs` options used in the `%packages` section have been removed. To maintain similar functionality, use the updated options `--exclude-weakdeps` and `--inst-langs` instead. These replacements ensure compatibility and provide the same dependency and language control within package management.
