OK, I tried to read about this stuff, but I did not see this covered in any of the RPM or packaging guides. I think that I understand now. So then I will do this instead: Provides: qore-module(abi) = 0.18 Provides: libqore5 = 0.8.11 Obsoletes: libqore5 < 0.8.12 # provided for backwards-compatibility with unversioned capabilities and will be removed when the ABI drops backwards-compatibility Provides: qore-module-api-0.18 Provides: qore-module-api-0.17 Provides: qore-module-api-0.16 Provides: qore-module-api-0.15 Provides: qore-module-api-0.14 Provides: qore-module-api-0.13 Provides: qore-module-api-0.12 Provides: qore-module-api-0.11 Provides: qore-module-api-0.10 Provides: qore-module-api-0.9 Provides: qore-module-api-0.8 Provides: qore-module-api-0.7 Provides: qore-module-api-0.6 Provides: qore-module-api-0.5 Furthermore I hope to have the license text updated in the source by later today (CET). Thanks again for your explanations and patience. thanks, David -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
