Can you provide an example? I'm afraid I don't know what this means
mariadb-libs as example where i don't get why "mariadb-connector-c"
exists at all and yes 10.3 is by intention
[harry@srv-rhsoft:~]$ rpm -q mariadb-libs
mariadb-libs-10.3.38-0.fc36.20230206.rh.skylake.x86_64
%package libs
Summary: The shared libraries required for MariaDB clients
Provides: mysql-libs = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release},
mysql-libs%{?_isa} = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, mariadb-connector-c
= %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, mariadb-connector-c%{?_isa} =
%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}
Obsoletes: mysql-libs < 1000, community-mysql-libs < 1000
%description libs
All of that should continue to work, with one important consideration:
When any library is intended as a substitute for another library*, it
will need to match the libtool "current" and "age" version spec, because
the interface version *is* one of the things that a compatibility
library must be compatible with. If mariadb and mysql did not express
compatible versions, then the package maintainer may need to manually
add "Provides: libmysqlclient.so.18()(64bit) = 18.0.0" to mariadb-libs.
*: I have to guess that this mariadb-libs package "Provides:
libmysqlclient.so.18()(64bit)"... please tell me if you mean something else.
