That also makes a lot of sense :) Based on all that, how about:

  Provides: %{prjname}[-[libs|devel]] = 1.01-40.%{version}-%{release}

? That is strictly greater than "abc-1.01-40", increments with each release of
`yosyshq-abc`, and stays strictly below "abc-1.01-41", in case we/you ever
decide to revive that one, for any reason.

I'm also assuming we can eventually drop the Provides/Obsoletes lines once F39
goes off support (when f41 is released).

Re. f38, `dnf update` will replace `abc-1.01-40` with `yosyshq-abc-0.31-1` as
per the "Provides" tag (that's the point of ensuring the `abc-EVR` provided is
greater than that of the last available old abc package). That *would* of
course also work in f37, but you're right, if neither of us cares, we can (and
should) let sleeping dogs lie :)

Thanks again,
