Hi,
are there any guidelines on how to move programs from one package to another - while guaranteeing that the program is installed any time (either by the old or by the new package)?
The case: su and kill are moved from coreutils to util-linux upstreams. It'd be "quite not so optimal" if an installation would be left behind without them ...
As both are always installed on any system anyway, the simplest solution would be to set
Conflicts: other-package < version-before-move
in each RPM. This would force both of them to be updated in single transaction.
Sure, the problem is that I'm not the new package of util-linux including su does not yet exist (and I'm not the maintainer). Hmm, for local testing, I could manually create such a package. Let's see ...
Unfortunately I'm not really sure that OBS actually provides monotonically increasing NVR given how R part is calculated.
I don't understand because I don't know the abbreviations NVR and R, but I'm sure I'll hit that issue soon. ;-) Have a nice day, Berny -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
