That anchor does not exist, but I believe this case
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Conflicts#Binary_Name_Conflicts is
what would apply here. The only reason I am setting the Conflicts flag is
because the binaries actually clash, both are installed as /usr/bin/s3fs. It
suggests using either alternatives or environment modules to alleviate this. I
have a question tho, would installing this new binary as /usr/bin/fuse-s3fs (or
similar) be an acceptable workaround? this program hasn't been packaged in
either arch, debian or ubuntu (I searched in all). I believe this would be the
first "official" package of said software. If that is an acceptable workaround
I can even propose that when contacting upstream, it would basically be a
"heads up, guys" and see if they are happy with it.

I will contact Norman and the guys from google code's s3fs and see what I can
find out. Historically, the google code's take on s3fs would get to keep the
name since Norman's version came up later (there's mention of that project in
the fedorahosted page). There was even a third one that went nowhere
(http://code.google.com/p/s3fs-fuse/)

That is probably because of this recent thread:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-August/155935.html

I would note that http://code.google.com/p/s3fs/source/list looks more active
than https://fedorahosted.org/s3fs/log/src/s3fs
