Re: queries about merging 2 packages

Sorry for top post, mobile.  I think given the lack of builds toy can skip Obsoletes and Provides, and can just follow the EOL procedure on the wiki.

Hi packaging,

I've got two packages which should be one. The reason they were two
before was because of some strange circular dependencies, iirc. This
doesn't apply anymore since the upstream project have moved from CVS
to Git, and seem to have moved some things between some of their
subproject repositories to fix the circular dependency problem.

So, the package that I want to drop hasn't been built for Rawhide or
F19 yet, and I don't think it should be. I haven't updated the main
package to merge in the split one yet (it's ready, just waiting for
broken deps). My questions are mainly about what steps do I need to do
to do this as cleanly as possible:

- - Do I need to manually put in any 'Obsoletes' or 'Provides' or
anything like that? Nothing else uses the split package apart from a
couple of my other packages, which I will remove (Build)Requires from.

- - Since it hasn't been built in F19 yet, is there anything I need to
do to other than retire it in pkgdb? I've never dropped or retired any
packages so I'm not sure of the steps that need to be done.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
Gerard.
