If we keep the "ardour" package name in Extras and transition that

anything on my side, I think (the ardour2 packages have been out there
for a while and are installed in machines all over the place). Would the
package in Extras include some kind of Obsoletes:/Provides: for that? (I
doubt it... :-)
We could definitely Obsolete the ardour2 package in a new ardour package.
For something as crucial to a recording studio as Ardour I'd rather have
both installed side by side and test 2.x until I'm comfortable that it
is working fine. That's not possible if the package name is ardour,
right?
True. In theory, both ccrma and fedora could provide upgrade paths from
the current ardour package. The planetccrma package would be an
"ardour0" package containing the 0.99.3 release which Obsoletes ardour,
and the fedora package would be a new "ardour" package which Obsoletes
the planetccrma ardour2 package. This may be a little more work but it...
a) enables parallel installs for planetccrma users
b) provides a natural, clean upgrade path for everybody
This is somewhat similar to how Fedora handles shipping older versions
of gcc in parallel with the system compiler. The latest compiler
package is always "gcc".
