the package as normal (I think fedpkg retire will work fine even in this
case), BUT
* Obsoletes and Provides are NOT needed. Just make sure the new subpackage
has an EVR higher than the previous standalone package.
Thanks for the clarification Kevin... On a related note, the guidelines say I should only retire a package that's not released since the package can not get removed from released versions, so in this case I'm thinking that would be f20 and rawhide.
As to the order, I would think I need the new packages in stable before retiring so we have a continuity of update path?
Thanks,
Richard
