Hello,
I need to fork a rpm into two rpm because of being two separate products.
Formerly both product were using "reporter.rpm". Now, they will use
"reporter-product1.rpm" and "reporter-product2.rpm", respectively.
These rpm's will be required by a base rpm for each product,
"base-product1.rpm" and "base-product2.rpm", repectively.
reporter |-> reporter-product1
|-> reporter-product2
If I only add "Provides: reporter" two each rpm, a "yum update" will
give a "file something from install of reporter-product1.rpm conflicts
with file from package reporter.rpm"
If I only add "Obsoletes: reporter" two each rpm, a "yum update" will
give a "Error: Missing depedency: reporter >= 1.3.2 is needed by
package base-product1.rpm" and "Error: Missing depedency: reporter >=
1.3.2 is needed by package base-product2.rpm"
If I both add "Obsoletes: reporter" and "Provides: reporter" two each
rpm, a "yum update" will try to install both packages
(reporter-product1.rpm and reporter-product2.rpm) because they both
obsoletes reporter.rpm
What do you suggest in this case?
Best Regards,
