We'll need a %pre or %post to remove the old bits though, right? Or will that happen automagically? It would be nice if it did. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
So, is the decision to make the move or not made yet? If yes, we should either do this as fast as possible or close the bug. BTW the removal of old files wouldn't be necessary, rpm takes care of that.
