--- Comment #7 from František Dvořák <valtri@xxxxxxxxxx> ---
If I understand correctly, this is different software than the current plugin
in Fedora?

I think this would be the proper way to do it:

1) get new set of packages to Fedora, for example:
  - mozilla-esteidpkcs11loader + esteid-browser-plugin2
  - or something like: firefox-esteidpkcs11loader + firefox-esteid-plugin

Note, mozilla-esteid is currently subpackage of esteid-browser-plugin, so
creating new package (+review) is needed anyway for this one package.

2) (optionally) use Provides and Obsoletes for transparent update
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_Existing_Packages):

  - browser plugin package:
  Provides: esteid-browser-plugin%{?_isa} = %{version}-%{release}
  Obsoletes: esteid-browser-plugin < 1.3.4

  - this package:
  Provides: mozilla-esteid = %{version}-%{release}
  Obsoletes:  mozilla-esteid < 1.3.4

3) (optionally) retire old package set
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life)


Thanks to 1) users will really see during update there is major change.
Automatic transition to new version would be possible thanks to 2), if desired.
