Not instead, but in addition IIRC (it obsoletes the package and provides the feature). But that would be nonsensical if the outside package indeed requires git-p4 and we don't have it in our current RPM: the purpose of dependencies is to not have things break silently, and lying about what we provide would be wrong. -- David Kastrup - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
