after the eventual non-US merge into main
I maintain the packages powstatd and powstatd-crypt. They are
identical, except that powstatd-crypt has encrypted communication
between master and slave computers on a single UPS.
After the eventual non-US merge into main, I'd like for package
powstatd-crypt to be renamed powstatd and for the old powstatd to
disappear.
The new powstatd will thus replace the old powstatd and
powstatd-crypt packages.
I now have:
Package: powstatd
Version: 1.5.1-1
Provides: ups-monitor
Conflicts: powstatd-crypt, ups-monitor
Package: powstatd-crypt
Version: 1.5.1-1
Provides: ups-monitor
Conflicts: powstatd, ups-monitor
Should the new powstatd (say 1.5.1-2) have:
Package: powstatd
Version: 1.5.1-2
Provides: ups-monitor
Conflicts: powstatd-crypt, ups-monitor
Replaces: powstatd-crypt (<< 1.5.1-2)
Does the version in the Replaces add anything since there will
never be any higher version? I'd guess not.
Should the new one "Provide: powstatd-crypt"? Nothing depends on
it.
Thanks,
Peter
