Hello all.
doxbox-staging is trying to overwrite the regular dosbox package:
Installing:
dosbox-staging x86_64 0.76.0-2.fc34 fedora
1.4 M
replacing dosbox.x86_64 0.74.3-7.fc34
From its SPEC[1]:
# This package is a drop-in replacement for dosbox
Provides: dosbox = %{version}-%{release}
Obsoletes: dosbox < 0.74.4
Is this Okay? These packages has different maintainers. According to the Fedora
packaging guidelines, one package cannot introduce conflicts with another.
This is intentional, regular dosbox is more-or-less (*) unmaintained upstream
so we have decided to switch to dosbox-staging, also see the Package Review for
dosbox staging:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1884608
As such dosbox-staging is intended as a replacement for the regular dosbox (and
it is fully compatible with the regular dosbox). This was coordinated with the
dosbox owner, but we have forgotten to actually retire dosbox, sorry about
that. I'll retire dosbox in rawhide right away.
I think it is great that Fedora now has dosbox-staging and arrow keys
work again. Many games were quite annoying to play without them. And
there are other improvements as well.
But the complaint I have about this process is that, if you use the
default dosbox-staging config, quite many games that actually ran with
dosbox crash on dosbox-staging startup. That problem should be patched
around somehow before dosbox can go. See Bugzilla discussion [1].
