Actually, I just realized that this is NOT going to provide a clean upgrade path. If you change the Requires: to python-django14, it means that when upgrading an app, yum is going to attempt to install python-django14 on systems that already have python-django, which will result in an implicit conflict. There are two things that should probably be done to solve this: 1) All applications should change Requires: python-django to Requires: python-django >= 1.4 Conflicts: python-django >= 1.5 Since the python-django14 package Provides: python-django = 1.4.5, this will cleanly move upgrades along to the python-django14 package if needed. 2) The python-django14 package should add: Obsoletes: python-django < 1.5 Conflicts: python-django >= 1.5 This way, anyone who is currently running python-django = 1.4.x will continue along the 1.4.x upgrade path until they explicitly switch to 1.5. Also, since the packages are not mutually-compatible, they really need to have the explicit Conflicts. It should be safe to use Obsoletes < $current_version because we will only ever be supporting in Fedora the two versions supported by upstream. It gets a little hazy with EPEL, but given that upstream has abandoned the older releases, they should probably get retired eventually. Adding Toshio to the CC list explicitly to check my logic :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlFlUrgACgkQeiVVYja6o6PshgCePEKhRM7kmkeGbyYIVDLDImIW NnIAoKbAi7RZ8FFl3EpYyneFc+8yxci0 =sjyA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
