Hi all, currently I'm working on Kbarcode, which is under review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1001799 The current version is 3.0.0b3. No problem so far, but the next one will probably be the final 3.0.0. This way I don't get a proper upgrade path. Just tested with a dummy package versioned as 3.0.0b2 which I tried to update with 3.0.0: # rpm -Uvh mario-3.0.0-1.fc19.noarch.rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%] package mario-3.0.0b3-1.fc19.noarch (which is newer than mario-3.0.0-1.fc19.noarch) is already installed What to do in this case? I would add Obsoletes: %{name} = 3.0.0b3 Is this OK or have to do some other fixes? Maybe I could change the package version of the current beta release to 2.9.99?
