One item has just come up the last days within FC-development: openssh has added to the "Obsoletes:" lines also the corresponding "Provides:" lines. End result is that this created an "Obsoletes loop" where an older openssh-askpass-gnome package obsoletes a current openssh-askpass and the current openssh-askpass package also obsoletes openssh-askpass-gnome. (In more detail this happened via the obsoletes/provides "ssh-extras".) This of course does not show up for FC-development where only the newest packages are in the tree, but it does show up if you take older repos together with FC-devel packages (which is normally not a good mixture, but that is another story). While it is most times a good idea to add the "Provides:" lines for all obsoletes as well, we should not just add them to all of them. Especially not if nobody found them missing for many years by now. Something we should keep in mind if we now look more and more at rpmlint and how it reviews rpm packages. regards, Florian La Roche -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
