https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2229282 --- Comment #6 from Gabriel Somlo <somlo@xxxxxxx> --- > "You usually use macros here because the provides EVR should continue to go up as the renamed package advances in version and release." That also makes a lot of sense :) Based on all that, how about: Provides: %{prjname}[-[libs|devel]] = 1.01-40.%{version}-%{release} ? That is strictly greater than "abc-1.01-40", increments with each release of `yosyshq-abc`, and stays strictly below "abc-1.01-41", in case we/you ever decide to revive that one, for any reason. I'm also assuming we can eventually drop the Provides/Obsoletes lines once F39 goes off support (when f41 is released). Re. f38, `dnf update` will replace `abc-1.01-40` with `yosyshq-abc-0.31-1` as per the "Provides" tag (that's the point of ensuring the `abc-EVR` provided is greater than that of the last available old abc package). That *would* of course also work in f37, but you're right, if neither of us cares, we can (and should) let sleeping dogs lie :) Thanks again, --G -- You are receiving this mail because: You are always notified about changes to this product and component You are on the CC list for the bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2229282 Report this comment as SPAM: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Bugzilla&format=report-spam&short_desc=Report%20of%20Bug%202229282%23c6 _______________________________________________ package-review mailing list -- package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to package-review-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
