Summary: Review Request: xdvik - An X viewer for DVI files
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427667
------- Additional Comments From pertusus@free.fr 2008-01-14 17:14 EST ------- A first note is that it seems to me that 22.84.12 should be obsoleted (if xdvi is).
The issue I see is that the xdvi package exists and it is a different upstream. However I can't see a reason why somebody would want to package it. In fact it may have been unfortunate that I (I think it was me in a patch fro texlive.spec) called it xdvi and not xdvik. However it is not that obvious since it certainly makes sense to have yum install xdvi installs xdvik.
Maybe one possibility could be to drop completely the Obsoletes: xdvi
and leave Provides: xdvi = %{version}-%{release}
This will hurt the rawhide texlive users but maybe it would be better. Another possiblity could be
Obsoloetes: xdvi = 22.84.12
That way the xdvi in rawhide is obsoleted without much side-effect.
