I have done such a package for tetex-lineno which was included in
fedora package already. It is better, in my opinion, if you have
Obsoletes added in fedora packages and in later RHEL package that
obsolete your package. But it may be a lengthy process...
Would Fedora/RHEL be willing to add an Obsoletes for an EPEL package?
Were you able to get an Obsoletes included for your package?
I was just planning to make my package require Python >= 2.3 and <=
2.5. I wonder how this would effect an eventual upgrade from EL5 to
EL6 when it comes out.
Thanks,
