Description Jeff Pitman 2005-01-10 04:29:08 UTC 
Obsoletes: foo >= 1.0.1 
Obsoletes: foo < 1.1 
 
This would Obsolete all versions of 1.0.1 to 1.1 exclusive.  Currently, one 
must manually entire all possible existing versions to obsolete, which can be 
cumbersome to deal with.

This is a couple of hours work and looks to be useful, permitting
a range of EVR to be removed.

Sign off from the python heads for the semnatic change please.
Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2005-01-10 14:33:57 UTC 
And rather than opening another bug, another RFE:

I think Obsoletes: should become persistent, treated as
Conflicts: after install.
Comment 3 Paul Nasrat 2005-01-10 15:39:36 UTC
