I'd like to rename tetex-tex4ht to tex-tex4ht together with
texlivisation. However I cannot find in the wiki the procedure that can
be used to rename a package without changing anything else. There are a
lot of information somehow related but nothing really appropriate -- or
I didn't found it.
More precisely, it doesn't seems to be on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CVSAdminProcedure
There are elements on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/PackageEndOfLife
but it isn't really appropriate (in my opinion appropriate informations
should go here).
I found nothing relevant in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/UpdatingPackageHowTo
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/UsingPackagedb
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/UsingCvsFaq
Did I missed something? If not, what is the procedure?
<https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list>
Google found this for me:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SteeringCommittee/Meeting-20061207
Quoting:
"""
Free Discussion
* Renaming packages
* When a package is renamed, the package owner is allowed to import the
renamed package as a new module, mark the old module as a dead.package and request branches. Referring to the old package and the fact that this is a rename helps people know what's going on in regards to the branches.
* Part of this policy is listed here:
http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/PackageEndOfLife and we can link to that as a reference.
* awjb will document this.
"""
But:
Renaming a package is just bringing in the new package, getting it
reviewed, particularly for correct Provides/Obsoletes, and then
requesting that the old named package be removed.
That's how i remember it as well; the FESCo decision above was IIRC
changed to "review renamed package" later. But seems neither of the two
decisions were properly documented in the wiki afaics :-/
