Bug 203993

Description of problem:

This is not really a bug report, but a place for the coordination
around openmotif/lesstif packaging to have parallel installable 
packages to ease migration and also to help those who prefer one or
the other implementation to chose. All that is following the switch
to lesstif in fedora to cope with openmotif not having an OSI 
compatible licence (and even this issue set apart this would be a good
thing to be able to choose one).

lesstif package is proposed in Bug #203274.

the -devel packages will conflict. There could be a virtual provide,
like motif-devel describing the motif API provided by the -devel 
package, which would be, for lesstif at version 2.1, and for 
openmotif at 2.3.

the package containing the libraries shouldn't conflict. Currently
the openmotif and lesstif libs have different sonames and different 
names, so the library names are not an issue. 

What could conflict is mwm, which is in lesstif-mwm in the proposed
lesstif package. There is also uil, it is proposed to be in 
lesstif-devel. And xmbind could also conflict, and is more 
worrisome to me since it should logically be in the main package, 
with the libraries.

To avoid the xmbind conflict there are 2 possible solutions: 
* move xmbind to a separate package
* rename programs, scripts and man pages that could conflict
  in such a way that they don't conflict (like openmotif-xmbind
  or lesstif-xmbind).

Are you ready to split openmotif according to a scheme 
compatible with what I propose above to avoid conflicts?
What would seem better for you to avoid the xmbind conflict? 


As a side note, lesstif and openmotif provide libraries
which may have the same soname and name but be ABI incompatible.
So even if the packages may be parallel installable it would
be safer for packaes built against one or the other to 
require the right one and not rely on the soname found 
automatically by rpm.
