Summary: Review Request: fedora-obsolete-packages - A package
to obsolete retired packages
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Component: Package Review
Severity: medium

Description:
This package exists only to obsolete other packages which need to be removed
from the distribution for some reason.
Fedora Account System Username: tibbs
In accordance with the Packaging Committee ticket
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/645#comment:11 and the related FESCo
decision in https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1620 I'm submitting a package
which exists for no purpose other than to include Obsoletes: lines for packages
which need to be removed from the distribution for some reason (generally
because they've been retired and will cause dependency problems on upgrades if
not removed).
Note that the package contains no files and at this time no actual obsoletes.
I guess at some point a single documentation file might be useful, but FPC
hasn't actually developed a policy around this yet so that will come later.
rpmlint will complain about missing %prep, %build and %install sections, but
that's just rpmlint pointlessly complaining. I use the following rpmlint.cf
file in the package directory
addFilter("no-%prep-section")
addFilter("no-%build-section")
addFilter("no-%install-section")
so when vim invokes rpmlint the errors are suppressed.
