Is it valid to use 2 requires of the same dependency for min / max
versions? For example, I have a package "foo" that depends on package
"bar" >= 1.0 and also "bar" < 2.0.
I have seen many packages use this:
Requires: bar >= 1.0
Conflicts: bar >= 2.0
but I would like to use the following (which may help with finding
dependencies using repoquery):
Requires: bar >= 1.0
Requires: bar < 2.0
If you have access to modify "bar", I'd suggest one way of tackling
issues like this is adding a virtual Provides to bar.spec like:
Provides: bar1 = %{version}-%{release}
So, now you can avoid the above examples you mentioned using just:
Requires: bar1
(versioned or not)
