Plug in the necessary obsoletes and provides in the spec file and open up a new review request as "Rename Request: foo - App that does bar". Once it's been reviewed (the reviewer checks that the package is sane and that the obsoletes and provides are correct) and approved you can import and build the new package and mark the old package as dead. -- Jussi Lehtola Fedora Project Contributor jussilehtola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
