merging packages - is fedora fedora guideline right?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi guys,
I am confused about the official guidelines for merging of packages in Fedora.
From my POV, when I merge some packages and the functionality is preserved,
the Obsoletes and Provides should be set and kept for 2 release cycles.
So there is not problem with dependencies, etc. However, I've just realized
that regarding guidelines only Obsoletes should be set.

Was it changed and is it really correct? From that point, I already have
a reported broken deps for git-remote-hg because of the missing provides
after the merge of some packages - I will fix it, but I am curious whether
this is really expected. Can you guys put a light on that? Or the guideline
needs to be fixed?

Thank you!
