Hi all,
Here's a draft that - after deciding which solution is best - should
eventually be put into Packaging Guidelines:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/UsingAlternatives
I tried to list all pros and cons of each solution.
I'm personally hesitating between using %ghost or Provides:, but I'd
prefer the Provides: solution.
If the only con of the %ghost solution is that it conflicts with "files
owned by multiple packages are forbidden" I would prefer that. This is
similar to the current exception to allow multiple packages to own the
same directory when they are not in a hierarchical relationship. We
would need to note this reasoning (or link to this) on the Conflicts page.
