Upgrading an RPM with a different name

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'd like to create an RPM called newname. When installed on a computer
which has the RPM called oldname already installed, I'd like the
newname RPM to completely replace the oldname RPM. That is, newname is
actually an upgrade to oldname.

Is there a way to do that? Or is the only way to put a "Conflicts:
oldname" tag in the newname RPM and expect the user to manually remove
oldname before installing newname?

Thanks

	joch
