--- Comment #3 from Kalev Lember <kalevlember@xxxxxxxxx> ---
I don't think the gnutls virtual provide would make sense here. At best it is
unnecessary, since the gnutls package itself already satisfies any deps on
"gnutls". At worst, it can lead to weird depsolving issues.

Rpm packages that are linked with the older ABI get automatic requires on the
libgnutls.so.28 virtual provide, which the new compat package would satisfy.

Due to this libgnutls.so.28 virtual dep in dependant packages, as soon as
gnutls 3.4 and the new compat package are built, packages in rawhide
automatically switch over to using the compat package. When they get rebuilt
over time with the new gnutls, the number of packages depending on the compat
pkg drops tp zero over time. This avoids rawhide breakage and removes the need
for an explicit gnutls mass rebuild.
