Bug#762976: flare 0.18: should be removed from Debian because it is superseded by flare-game 0.19

Martin, what do you think of adding 'provides', something like flare-game provides flare and flare-data? I don't know if there's a downside to that, I don't have much experience in that area. Once this is done, I can remove the others. Alternatively, I was thinking on making the 0.18 versions to be just meta-packages (flare - flare-engine, flare-date - flare-game). Looking forward to read your opinions on the matter. I think flare and flare-data should depend on flare-engine and flare-game respectively. It would definitely ensure that users pulled in the new version during an upgrade. That is basically method 2 which is described here: https://wiki.debian.org/Renaming_a_Package Cheers, Markus signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hope that everything is fine now. Cheers and thanks. -- Manuel A.

Bug#762976: flare 0.18: should be removed from Debian because it is superseded by flare-game 0.19
Package: flare Version: 0.18-1 Severity: important Hi, it seems we have now two almost identical flare packages in Debian. Flare 0.18 is obviously superseded by flare-game 0.19. Unfortunately the latter did not provide a transitional package for upgrading purposes, so users, who installed 0.18, have to install flare-game 0.19 manually. In any event I think two source packages of the same game are not necessary. What do you think? Should flare 0.18 be removed from Debian?

Looking forward to read your opinions on the matter. I agree that flare 0.19 should provide the old packages to ease the transition, and that flare 0.18 should be removed from the archive afterward. Someone should doublecheck the policy to see the exact rules to add for a smooth transition. I seem to remember that it's documented as an example somewhere. But I won't be able to do it myself before at least another month because of the work load that is currently pushed on me.
