Hi,
I want to split off the evolution plugin from mail-notification into a
separate package to avoid the dep on evolution in the main
mail-notification package. That's supported by mail-notification.
But this leads to one problem: Users of the evolution plugin in
mail-notification now need to manually install the new sub-package to
gain all the features they had before in the non-split
mail-notification. There are now two scenarios to proceed afaics:
1) Do the split only in devel/FC6 and get it documented in the release
notes.
2) add a this two lines to the new sub-pacakge:
Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}
Obsoletes: mail-notification < 3.0-4
(see attached patch for the full context). This way yum will install the
new subpackage because it obsoletes the old main-package *and* yum will
install the new main-package because it's a dep of the new subpackage.
Worked as expected in a local test:

$ sudo yum --enablerepo=test update

This is somewhat hackish, but it's probably the most comfortable way for
the user.
Does anyone know why solution 2) should not work or if it leads to
trouble somewhere? If not I'm going to try it (of course only in devel)...
