[opensuse-packaging] gpg is dead. Long live gpg
Hello, we're (Lukáš Tinkl and myself) want to stop supporting gpg (aka. GnuPG). Reason is, that developing of gpg has stopped (only in bugfix mode), and use gpg2 instead, as it seems to be getting a stable version now. Therefore we are doing a switch in openSUSE 10.3 RSN: - gpg will be dropped - gpg2 will be renamed to gpg We didn't noticed any problems regarding backward compatibility, but we weren't able to do verey single test case. :-) If your package contains a interface toward gpg, like YaST Online-Update mode, please check this move out. Please fill out bugreports on bugzilla, if you think there are. Thanks for your patience.

why renaming it?
to fullfil old Requires a simple:
Provides: gpg = %{version}-%{release}
would be enough. and everybody would know that the gpg package is dead
and that we only ship gpg2 now. imho this rename would be useless.

It's up to you. :-) But if you want to be sure that it get changed, I would suggest to do the bugreport (it's protocolld then). But as said before, I never was and aint the maintainer of gpg2, so I cannot decide.
