Hi everybody,

Let me explain my title: I maintain the packages for the saltstack project. One of the packages salt-cloud has been deprecated by upstream. They moved the code into the main package salt.

So instead of having: salt-cloud: - binary salt-cloud - url: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel%3Alanguages%3Apython/salt-clou...

salt: - binary salt-master - binary salt-minion - binary salt-syndic - binary salt-ssh - url: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel%3Alanguages%3Apython/salt

It will become: salt: - binary salt-master - binary salt-minion - binary salt-syndic - binary salt-ssh - binary salt-cloud

Now my question is how can keep the upgrade path for the users of salt-cloud in opensuse/suse,

With kind regards, Niels Abspoel Just add Provides: salt-cloud = %{version} Obsoletes: salt-cloud < %{version} tags in main package.

The right answer? 'It depends'. Mainly on the version of 'old' salt-cloud package and new salt package (and thus resulting new salt-cloud package). If salt-cloud (new version) has a higher version than the old package, there is nothing you have to worry about: rpm does only match package updates on their 'binary' package name.. the source of it does not matter at all (in OBS, though, you should ensure to remove / wipe the binaries of the old package, to avoid conflicts). If the new salt-cloud package has a lower version, then the whole thing becomes tricky... let's hope this is not the case.
