Right, but it also says: "You usually use macros here because the provides EVR should continue to go up as the renamed package advances in version and release." And if you look down further at the first example, it has: Provides: foo = 2:%{version}-%{release} Because %version and %release are handy macros for continuing that upward motion of the provides EVR. In this case, the new package's EVR is higher than the obsoleted package's EVR, which makes %version and %release useable for this purpose. You are free to use some other macro or macros if that makes sense to you, but they need to increase in value every time either Version or Release increases. > I was plannin on F38 and rawhide, but if you want me to do f37 as well, I > can -- please advise! :) I asked because for Rawhide we can simply retire the existing abc package and build cvc5 against this package. I'm not sure how to handle F38, frankly. I'd be happy to avoid changing F37 at this point in its lifecycle. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
