Then you need to fix rpm/yum/dnf/libsolv to honor it for upgrades. 2. Then you need to fix rpm/yum/dnf/libsolv to parse it out of the specfile and honor it for conflicts/obsoletes/provides/requires. 3. Then you need to fix createrepo/createrepo-c, and the repodata, to work with #2. 4. Then you need to fix yum/dnf/etc. to optionally parse it out of the command line. 5. Then you need to fix koji. 6. Then you just need to fix the rest of the world. -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
