Not an ideal solution, and I would still have to conflicts samba-client < 
2.2.8a-9mdk, and would probably want to have samba2-client provide 
samba-client = %{version}-%{release}.

samba->samba2 has already been implemented, and will take effect when 
samba3->samba (samba3 in main) and samba->samba2 (samba2 in contrib).

rename samba to samba2?

Yes, I actually wanted to avoid a Provides: samba-client with version
information, but I think:

Provides: samba-client
Conflicts: samba-common < 2.2.8a-9mdk

should do enough of what I want if I tighten the requires on
samba-client (except they could be stuck with a samba-client-2.2.8a-8mdk
and samba-common-2.2.8a-9mdk, unless I conflict samba-client <
2.2.8a-9mdk, but then I will end up with a circular conflict back to
samba3-client).

Hmm, will play with this a bit while I fix a few other things.

Maybe I should not worry about the conflicts, it will just cause the
update-alternatives to fail ... (could be worse).

There must be a solution, but the only complete one I can think of
(Epoch) isnt't very attractive ...

Buchan

Well, you could drop the release from the Conflict if you do not want
any release of  2.2.8a would 'update' to samba3.

As you worded your original you were only concerned if samba-client <
2.2.8a-9 was being used.

BTW if the release tag is used urpmi Will update to 3.0.0 anyone running
 2.2.8a >= 2.2.8a-9

Hmm, this could work, *if* I tighten the requires on samba-client to =
samba-common-%{version}-%{release} (currently it's only %{version}).

Thanks, I will give it a test, and maybe tomorrow morning we will have a
samba3-client we can actually install (I was testing
update-alternatives, so used --force a bit, so missed this one ...).

But update-alternatives works acceptably now (bonus points for telling
me how to get the most recently installed smbclient to be the "best"
one, at present smbclient2 is always the "best" one).

Buchan

Provides: samba-client = 3.0.0-0.rc2.2mdk
Conflicts: samba-common < 2.2.8a-9

If called as urpmi samba-client, urpmi will offer the choice of 3.0.0
or 2.2.8a
By same token if any version of samba-common < 2.2.8a-9 is on the
running system installation of client3 will not be allowed.
