Hello, Are the meanings of Provides: MTA and Provides: smtpdaemon documented somewhere, or can someone tell with confidence what they mean/imply? I thought that a Provides: smtpdaemon would mean a service that runs a local SMTP service daemon and Provides: MTA something sendmail command line compatible that can send mail; filed some bugs, but it appears that there are some disagreement over their purposes. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/235594 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/235596 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/188400 Unless they already are, these things should be documented somewhere. I started http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/VilleSkytt%C3%A4/VirtualProvides to collect info - feel free to comment and add info and whatever is missing.
Relatedly, my proposal for (La)TeX add on package naming talks about virtual provides for TeX and LaTeX (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/TeXNaming).
