https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1004029 --- Comment #6 from Michael Schwendt <bugs.michael@xxxxxxx> --- Well, the renaming guidelines aren't too difficult: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Renaming.2Freplacing_existing_packages [...] Latest build in koji of the package to be replaced is: ovirt-engine-sdk.noarch 3.2.0.11-2.fc20 Pick anything that's higher than 3.2.0.11-2.fc20. For example: Obsoletes: ovirt-engine-sdk < 3.2.0.11-3 or Obsoletes: ovirt-engine-sdk < 3.2.0.12 or since this renamed package is at version 3.3.0.6: Obsoletes: ovirt-engine-sdk < 3.3.0.6 The important thing to understand here is that as long as the "Obsoletes" tag is present in any available package (whether installed or in the repos), it blocks package "ovirt-engine-sdk" from returning with a version that's too low. However, "ovirt-engine-sdk" may return with a higher version, e.g. 3.4 or 3.3.0.7, basically anything that's higher than what's specified in the Obsoletes tag. A package may be renamed once more or return with different contents. That's why we prefer blocking obsolete packages with no more than their last published version. Even if it's unlikely that ovirt-engine-sdk returns ever, doing it right (and accurate) doesn't hurt anyone, does it? Occasionally, the accuracy really helps. Simple scenarios like: foo-libs obsoleted by libfoo from a separate src.rpm, some time later foo.src.rpm builds a new foo-libs package for newly added libs. Pray that libfoo doesn't also obsolete the new foo-libs package EVR. Or vice versa: libfoo obsoleted by and merged into foo-libs, some time later a different project uses the libfoo name for something else. > Provides: ovirt-engine-sdk = %{version} The guidelines want -%{release} to be added to be as accurate as normal packages. [...] > Name: ovirt-engine-sdk-python I'm really bad at these naming guidelines things. Since this is a Python module, shouldn't it be named python-ovirt-engine-sdk to satisfy the %parent-%child relationship guidelines for Python add-on packages? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Addon_Packages_.28python_modules.29 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Addon_Packages_.28General.29 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
