Hi all!
Feeling dumb (again...) I have a package which I now need to split
into subpackages.
Does this help?
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrade_paths_%E2%80%94_renaming_or_splitting_packages
No, not really. My case is really the one-to-many case, probably to simple to be mentioned in that doc (?)
You can use the n to m case, with n = 1. What the doc says is that you create an empty -compat subpackage, that obsoletes your previous package and that requires your new subpackages.
After one release cycle you add again your old name and obsolete the -compat package.
That's what I understand, at least
That said, thanks for pointer!
Cheers!
