Visit above Wiki pages and retire the obsolete packages properly for Rawhide _and_ Fedora 20 (since that is still possible, too). Complete all steps as explained in the Wiki. It is important to block/withdraw the obsolete builds also from F20. For older dists, packages cannot be pulled anymore. Afterwards, fix the Obsoletes tag in "ibus-typing-booster". Prefer "less than" over "less than or equal" in the Obsoletes tags. Don't use the dist tag in the specified version-release values. Specify the _next_ Release value that is higher than the Release prefix of the last published build. If not doing that, even a minor update for the old dists would break the Obsoletes tag. Add only a single pair of Provides/Obsoletes per package. The following would be safe, provided that the packages get blocked from F20: Obsoletes: ibus-european-table < 1.1.6-5 Obsoletes: ibus-hunspell-table < 0.0.8-5 I offer to send you a full cleanup patch for current git, after you manage to retire and block the obsolete packages. -- ms -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
