    Hi all!


    Feeling dumb (again...) I have a package which I now need to split
    into subpackages.
[cut]

Does this help?

 No, not really. My case is really the one-to-many case, probably to simple to be mentioned in that doc (?)


You can use the n to m case, with n = 1. What the doc says is that you create an empty -compat subpackage, that obsoletes your previous package and that requires your new subpackages.
After one release cycle you add again your old name and obsolete the -compat package.
That's what I understand, at least

 
That said, thanks for pointer!


Cheers!
