each time i need to use one of the above i am confused again when too use what. I think this info is not in rpm howto yet, i would add it, if i didn't feel unsure about what is best (I use things like described below, but i might be wrong). I see Conflicts and provides are in the wiki, but Obsoletes is not (for that matter, don't see prereqs either).
Perhaps someone can give a thorough explanation and i will add it to wiki? Or someone who does know can add it, whatever. Perhaps it should be case described, like: - new package has function of another old package as well (I assume this obsoletes other old package). But should it provide old package as well? - new package does not work anymore with another old package (conflicts) - provides is only used to set aliasses for the name more cases? d.
