I have a question about an open review request on the eccodes package, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1508950 Eccodes will replace grib_api for which downstream will stop support at the end of this year. Therefore the first draft spec file had Obsoletes/Provides entries to make clear that eccodes will replace it. Then I received a comment that this was maybe not correct, since the replacement package may not be compatible enough so I disabled these keywords. Main differences are: * grib_api provides a fortran77 library, which is absent in eccodes * library and pkg-config files changed name on the other hand, they both provide a fully compatible api version of the c and fortran90 library. On top of that, they both provide a collection of tools in /usr/bin with identical names which gives a conflict in ownership if both packages would be present at the same time. looking at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_Existing_Packages is this a case where only an Obsoletes should be used? Or should I also request that grib_api is to be added to fedora-obsolete-packages?
