Dear Fedora Packagers, when renaming a package, _please_ verify that the Obsoletes tag you add to a package specifies a high enough version. Make sure the new package really replaces the last published build of the old package. Pay extra attention to our dist tag. It is part of the Release value. If the last build is something-1.0-4.fc17 you need to Obsoletes: something < 1.0-5 because 4.fc17 is higher than 4 but lower than 5. Don't ignore the dist tag. Be extra careful when the renamed package needs to be retired. Until it's retired, it may be rebuilt/updated with a bumped Release value, and your Obsoletes tag would not be high anymore. * https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_... * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Renaming_Process * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_remove_a_package_at_end_of_life Thanks for your interest. It is a reoccuring problem that both the rename request submitter *and* the reviewer get the Obsoletes tags wrong. -- Michael Schwendt Fedora release 20 (Null) - Linux 3.11.0-0.rc7.git0.1.fc20.x86_64 loadavg: 0.36 0.21 0.15
