Resend of oold message :)


This is a bit silly.. Every time we add a new neon package, we need to add that package name to the Conflicts/Replaces line of EVERY OTHER neon package.

Would it be feasible to automate this? How about something like:

SharedHeaders: neon

automatically generates Conflicts: and Replaces: for every other package with SharedHeaders: neon.

Then we wouldn't have to update every neon headers package every time there is a new major version of neon.

Or maybe, it would be better to make it more general, even

ConflictsReplaces: neon ? Conflicts/Replaces everything with the ConflictsReplaces: neon line.

Problems pogma noted: This changes the deb. So, when you add a new package with this field, as before you still need to remember to rev up all those packages. Still, changing one number is less of a pain. And this is cleaner certainly, in the info file.
