That depends. If packages outside of git requires the git-p4 package
to function then this will not suffice and a line saying
Provides: git-p4
would have to be added instead.
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.
No, it really is instead. A package obsoleting one of the features it
provides itself would be insane.
