Hello all, I am still not sure whether we found the best way to do the GNOME-2 transition. I posted a similar question some days ago, but got no answers. So here it is again:
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?
As far as I see it we would do the following:
1) Upload
package - more stable, more tested, future GNOME 2 version
Provides: package2
Conflicts: package2
Replaces: package2
2) ask ft-master to remove package2
Would this work for both upgrade paths, for
package(old) -> package2 -> package(new)
and for
package(old) -> package(new)?
I am somewhat skeptical about the first upgrade path.
If somebody decides to try the GNOME-2 packages early,
what would happen to him after we drop the 2 suffix?
Does he need to manually switch back to "package"?
Jochen
