Hello!

You completely right. Usually such packages have different names: see allegro packages at games f.e.: https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/games/allegro?repository=openSUS... https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/games/allegro5?repository=openSU... https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries/games/allegro52?repository=openS...

Thanks Dmitriy. This may be too much administrative overhead for me, but I'll have to think more about it.

Are there plans to support multiple versions for build time dependencies?

This conflicts a bit with the requirement to be able to downgrade rpms again in upper layers in case of problems. And since this problem exists only when the packages are not prepared for parallel installation it is a problem which would also exist on the end-user system. He would run also into problems installing both packages or even worse one package would corrupt the other one. With the result of hard to debug errors...

If not, short of reading through bs_sched and related code, is there a specific area in the codebase I'd look at if I wanted to modify this behavior?

Thanks again. Andy
