--- Comment #16 from Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta(a)iki.fi> ---
(In reply to gil cattaneo from comment #13)
This seem for me unnecessary because in Fedora bouncycastle 1.50
already
exist ...
It might actually be unnecessary but not for that reason. 1.50 exists only in
F-21/Rawhide at the moment and the obsoletes is necessary for people who
upgrade from F-20 to F-21 so that functionality doesn't just disappear on yum
upgrade.
But why it actually could be considered unnecessary is that simply installing
the pkix package (which is what the Obsoletes would accomplish) is almost never
enough to keep software from breaking; classpath adjustments will be required
as well.
This is by the way a big reason why 1.50 should not be pushed to earlier
distros than F-21/Rawhide. In addition to that, there are also quite a few API
incompatibilities in 1.46 compared to 1.50 (as the author of Portecle, a piece
which uses BouncyCastle APIs quite extensively I happen to be painfully aware
of this).
