Re: [PATCH] Rename git-core rpm to just git and rename the meta-pacakge to git-all.

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

Thanks for updates to the spec file, but I need a bit of help
here on two problems.

If I understand you correctly, it should now create "git"
package, instead of "git-core", that contains the really core
parts, and other pieces such as "git-svn" and friends will stay
pretty much the same.  In addition, the new "git" package will
also say "this provides git-core, so install this when the user
asks to install git-core".

Where does "git-all" you talked about in your message come into
the picture?  The "make rpm" procedure produced these files for
me:

After I throw in these 9 i386.rpm files in my local yum
repository and say "yum install git-all", I get "No Match for
argument: git-all".  This is problem #1.

"yum install git" and "yum install git-core" do not give such an
error but the latter gives quite a bunch of errors ("yum install
git" goes alright).  This is problem #2.

Note that I want to make sure that the upgrade to go smoothly,
so I populated both 1.5.4 RPM and 1.5.4.2 RPM in the repository,
which is to emulate what we do on k.org machines.

The errors start like this.  It looks to me that "Provides:
git-core" is not being honored.
