Hi,

I just got a question about how should I track the removal of "Provides and Obsoletes" from the new minizip-ng package.

We've decided to remove them in Fedora 42, but it's impossible to remember to do it for 2 years.
There is no way to file a Bugzilla to Fedora 42 yet.

Is there some place where I can track it and it will remind me to do it when Fedora 42 is finally rawhide?

Thanks for suggestions
Lukas

Just an idea: You could even make the switch from minizip ->
minizip-ng a (partially) backwards-compatible change, by adding some
virtual provides (something like: add "Provides: minizip-ng" to
minizip, and "Provides: minizip-ng-devel" to minizip-devel), maybe
even in all current Fedora branches. That way, packages could start to
migrate, without needing conditionals in spec files for different
Fedora branches, and they'd be seamlessly switched over from minizip
to minizip-ng once the package is renamed.
