Hi Packagers, I was asked to clarify if/when "Conflicts: otherproviders(...)" has to be used. The answer is that it should not be used at all anymore. Upstream rpm allows self-conflicts since the year 2011 (commit b9f5062c227f4a8feff83c0ee1cde2929da7cd3e), it is included in SLES-12 (rpm-4.11.2) but not SLES-11 (rpm-4.4.2.3). So if you're not targeting SLES-11 it's safe to use a real self-conflict instead of that ugly otherproviders() workaround. The advantage is that rpm will also understand it and not just zypper/libzypp. Cheers, Michael. -- Michael Schroeder mls@suse.de SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF Jeff Hawn, HRB 16746 AG Nuernberg main(_){while(_=~getchar())putchar(~_-1/(~(_|32)/13*2-11)*13);} -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
