Description Adam Tkac 2008-01-29 10:22:04 UTC
Spec URL: http://people.redhat.com/atkac/baracuda/baracuda.spec
SRPM URL: http://people.redhat.com/atkac/baracuda/baracuda-1.0-0.1.prealpha.fc9.src.rpm
Description: baracuda is forked RealVNC source. It's going to become replacement for RealVNC and developed and maintained better because RealVNC focuses on their Enterprise VNC which is not free.

Shouldn't the 
   Obsoletes: vnc
   Provides: vnc
be versioned ?

Not needed. It obsoletes all our vnc builds so I don't see any reason why add
version.

Comment 3 manuel wolfshant 2008-01-29 14:03:06 UTC
because someone might wish to install the commercial version in parallel with
yours ?

Comment 4 Adam Tkac 2008-01-29 14:26:45 UTC
Hm, pretty unlikely but someone might do something like that. I've added version
and also "Conflicts: vnc{,-server}". SRPM and spec is updated

Comment 5 manuel wolfshant 2008-01-29 14:52:50 UTC
I don't get it. Could you please explain the technical reason(s) why would
baracuda and vnc (and their server parts) conflict ? I can run happily here
vmware's vnc server, krfb and vnc-server all in the same time. And I bet I could
also start FreeNX if I wanted to.



Comment 6 Adam Tkac 2008-01-29 14:58:27 UTC
baracuda is forked vnc source. All binaries and scripts have same name as in vnc
package. This is conflict. You cannot have installed baracuda and vnc
simulateously due same names.

Comment 7 Jason Tibbitts 2008-01-29 17:54:39 UTC
Are we sure there's no trademark issue with the Baracuda spam-filtering product?

Comment 8 Adam Tkac 2008-01-30 13:04:50 UTC
Baracuda software has only one 'r' and Barracuda networks (and his products) has
double 'rr' in title so this should not cause any problem :)

Comment 9 Kevin Kofler 2008-02-05 21:48:20 UTC
Uh, trademarks are not only about identical names, but also about "confusingly 
similar" names.

Comment 10 Callum Lerwick 2008-02-05 22:26:17 UTC
Unversioned obsoletes are not acceptable. The naming guidelines explain how to
handle obsoletes:

It seems the initial links are invalid now.

Comment 12 Adam Tkac 2008-03-18 09:08:58 UTC
Baracuda died because in the end I joined to TightVNC group and development done
in baracuda is going to be merged to TightVNC tree. Closing
