Hi all, I took over a package a couple of days ago and have a question according to a provide statement. Consider the following one: Name: myapp Provides: myapp.pl If I interpret the naming guidelines right, then a period is not allowed in a package name. But what about a provide statement (guess it's the same)? In case it is also illegal what would be the best to do. Will yum update the package if a user installed previously "myapp.pl" instead of "myapp" and the new package does not have a provide statement anymore? In the end the question would be should I follow the guidelines or provide backward compatibility in sense of updating. cheers Stefan PS: ".pl" should indicate that it is a Perl script, not a locale. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
