Consider for example the You mean on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/VilleSkyttä/VirtualProvides There is no mention of server(port_name) on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/ProvidesList It is explained on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/ServerProvides I had understood that it had been ratified, but I may be wrong.

Still should be server(webcache) is a server listening on localhost on this port wants to have this ability provided, in case it would have make sense. > run in non-default ports is pretty common and kind of breaks the "contract" > of server(port_name), but perhaps that's just a documentation issue.
