Hello,

In an upcoming release the libnfsdimap library
will be rolled into the nfs-utils package.
Meaning nfs-utils will be install libnfsidmap
instead of the libnfsidmap package.

The libnfsidmap name will stay the same
so I'm hoping there will not be any problems.
Just the owner of the library will change.

Questions:

1) What do I do with the old libnfsidmap package
   since it will no longer be updated.


Sound likes you can retire the package.
 
2) How do I notify the packages that are dependent
   on the libnfsidmap package to change their dependency
   to nfs-utils


You can include in the nfs-utils spec something like this:

Provides: libnfsidmap = %{version}-%{release} 
Obsoletes: libnfsidmap < %{version}-%{release} 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Renaming.2FReplacing_Existing_Packages

 
3) Will this cause any build problems now that nfs-utils
   will be installing the new library?

4) What am I missing?

tia,

steved.
