A first note is that it seems to me that 22.84.12 should
be obsoleted (if xdvi is).
Yes, sorry, I meant Obsoletes: xdvi <=22.84.12
The issue I see is that the xdvi package exists and it
is a different upstream. However I can't see a reason why
somebody would want to package it.
Yes.. but it's dead upstream ... no release since 2004... xdvik is essentially
upstream now.
In fact it may have been
unfortunate that I (I think it was me in a patch fro
texlive.spec) called it xdvi and not xdvik. However it is
not that obvious since it certainly makes sense to have
yum install xdvi installs xdvik.
Yes, we definately want yum install xdvi to do the right thing.
Maybe one possibility could be to drop completely the
Obsoletes: xdvi
and leave
Provides: xdvi = %{version}-%{release}
I am happy with that...
This will hurt the rawhide texlive users but maybe it would be
better.
I don't think it will, since the xdvi in rawhide is at version 22.84.12-8.fc9,
so rawhide users will just see an updated package. Did I miss something?
On balance i think the last choice is probably best
