Hi everyone,
where can I get all currently recommended/guidelined usecases for
"Obsoletes" tag?
Currently I'm working on ensuring that all usecases are working with DNF.
So far I found only:
*
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1261034
*
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrade_paths_%E2%80%94_renaming_or_splitt...
Is there something else to consider?
When things are renamed intra-release, we use Obsoletes with Provides
to create the proper upgrade path while ensuring that new
installations use the new package. This is currently broken in DNF,
but this is a common practice. It's done a lot when python packages
are reorganized (python-<module> -> python2-<module> and so on), for
example.
