+Package Variants
+----------------
+
+o Naming Convention
+ - primary/intended package is named "foo"
+ - secondary/alternative/compatibility/etc packages are named "fooN"
+ where "N" is the compressed version string not longer than 2 or 3 digits.
+ - examples: perl/perl56, gcc/gcc2/gcc33, mysql/mysql4, tomcat/tomcat4
+
+o Alternative Packages
+ - for using automatically handled package alternatives
+ - packages conflict by default, because are true alternatives
+ - intention is that packages are fully equal and compatible, any can be used, any
is chosen
+ - multiple existing packages is final solution and will remain in near future
+ - multiple packages are of different products (only)
+
+ Original Package:
+ | Name: foo
+ | Provides: FOO
+
+ Alternative Packages:
+ | Name: fooN
+ | Provides: FOO
+ | %install
+ | ln -s $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{l_prefix}/bin/fooN $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{l_prefix}/bin/foo
+
+ Examples: MTA, JDK, JRE, MOTIF, KSH, X11
+
+o Faked Packages
+ - for using manually enforced package alternatives
+ - packages do not conflict by default, but on enforcement
+ - intention is that packages are not fully compatible, only one particular should
be used, others can be enfored
+ - multiple existing packages is temporary solution and will certainly change in
near future
+ - multiple packages are of different versions of same product (only)
+
+ Original Package:
+ | Name: foo
+
+ Faked Packages:
+ | Name: fooN
+ | %options with_foo no
+ | %if "%{with_foo}" == "yes"
+ | Provides: foo = %{version}-%{release}
+ | %endif
+ | %install
+ | %if "%{with_foo}" == "yes"
+ | ln -s $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{l_prefix}/bin/fooN $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{l_prefix}/bin/foo
+ | %endif
+
+ Examples: perl, gcc, mysql, gd, tomcat
