This is not a library written in rust. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Library_or_Application.3F If you discount the guidelines for multiple parallel-installable versions of the same package, we don't really have an established naming convention for alternate versions of a "thing". Best I can think of are things like libart_lgpl (which doesn't and maybe never did have a non-lgpl version), reentrant versions of libraries like libqhull_r (which has the least useful package %description I've ever seen), though those aren't generally packaged separately, or, I don't know, chromium-libs-media-freeworld (which I know isn't a Fedora package). Honestly I'd just pretend that what you have really _is_ a different version of the same package, but instead of being version '3', it's version 'rust'. And for that we have https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Naming#Multiple_packages_with_the_same_base_name which would suggest "parallel-rust". For the actual executables, we have a long tradition of prefixing 'k' for kerberized versions of things, and postfixing version numbers, sometimes with dashes. Which really doesn't clarify much of anything. About all we can say with certainty is that this package can't install /usr/bin/parallel. - J< ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

Thanks for mentioning it and the detailed explanation. I did misunderstand it. I understand what you are talking about. Yeah, the suffix style "parallel-rust" looks better.

Actually, it could if the packager coordinated with GNU parallel package maintainer to use alternatives. This new package is supposed to be a drop-in replacement, so alternatives are appropriate here. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Alternatives Regards, Dominik -- Fedora https://getfedora.org | RPMFusion http://rpmfusion.org There should be a science of discontent.
