My case is slightly different: What I have today is the cloud-utils repo, which produces two packages: cloud-utils and cloud-utils-growpart (which contains only the growpart script plus man page). What I want is to keep the cloud-utils repo but create a metadata package cloud-utils plus two sub-packages cloud-image-utils and cloud-guest-utils. cloud-guest-utils will contain the growpart stuff plus another small script to match upstream. cloud-image-utils will replace the former cloud-utils package and the new cloud-utils package will simply require cloud-image-utils and cloud-guest utils. Am I making sense? :-) I can understand going through a new package review process but I wouldn't need a new git repo, or would I? ...Juerg > Matthias > > > [1] > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_Renaming_Process > -- > Matthias Runge <mru...@matthias-runge.de> > -- > devel mailing list > devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel > Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
