does anybody know: is it easy to remove the 2 suffix at some
point in the future? I imagine this could be some problem.
As far as I understand it, we seem to agree that currently we should
have
package - GNOME 1.4 version
package2 - GNOME 2 version (in experimental?)
Provides: package
Conflicts: package
Replaces: package
How would this look after we decided to get rid of the 2 suffix?
Would
package - more stable, more tested, future GNOME 2 version
Provides: package2
Conflicts: package2
Replaces: package2
and asking ft-master to remove package2 be enough? Would this work
for both upgrade paths, for package(old) -> package2 -> package(new)
and for package(old) -> package(new)?
