Hi all, I am creating a new RPM package for a cluster project we've created. There is a common "core" package, and then three other packages that are installed depending on the machine's role in the cluster; foo-core foo-A foo-B foo-C If 'foo-A' is installed, I want 'foo-B' and 'foo-C' to be removed, and 'foo-B' replaces 'foo-A' and 'foo-C', etc. I originally planned to use 'Conflicts: ' in our spec, but reading this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts It seems like 'Conflicts' is strongly discouraged. So instead I tried 'Obsoletes', and this seemed to work in that, if 'foo-A' was installed and I tried to install 'foo-B', it would remove 'foo-A'. So I thought I was ok, until I bumped the version and tried to to an update. With 'foo-A' installed, it wanted to install 'foo-B' and 'foo-C' and failed, which makes sense now that I think of it. What is the best way to handle this in the .spec file? I'm having trouble finding the right term to search form.
