Greetings list - this is my first post. Please could anyone enlighten me as to the precise meaning of : 'Provides: X > %evr' or 'Provides: X >= %evr' in a .spec file , where %evr is some [epoch:]version[-release] version specification of X ? I know what 'Provides: X = %evr' means, but I can't understand what the use of '>=' or '>' is for a Provide - does it mean that no other package may ever provide a version of X greater than %evr if the package providing the 'Provides: X >= %evr' is installed ? I've searched the documentation in Maximum RPM and at the Fedora RPM Guide, but there doesn't seem to be any on this issue .
