Thanks for clarification.

That makes perfect sense in a case of forward compatible v1 -> v2 where
previous packages requiring libyang (v1) would work with v2 but IIUC libyang v2
is a big overhaul that's closer to a new library. This would effectively break
all depending packages on upgrade - thus the explicit libyang2 plan.

libyang-tools need to be moved out of v1 package either way - good point.

We probably should've used that as a base instead of the upstream .spec...
Well, regardless, there are many differences for v2 including different
requires, build options, no python bindings, and more... it really felt like
packaging a different library. After dropping all unnecessary things with the
help of upstream, only the new .spec remained.

Thanks for input, Neal. I'll discuss this with upstream further before
proceeding.

I think both ways have their (dis)advantages so it boils down to real relation
between v1 and v2 and the effects of potential upgrade for existing users of
the package.
