'Specified Provides version in rpm spec file
What happend:
I'm now working on a linux side-by-side installation issue since rpm no longer support to install the 32-bit and 64-bit same name packages on a machine at the same time. So I need to change the name of the 32-bit package from xxx.i386.rpm to xxx-32bit.i386.rpm. For supporting the upgrade of this package, I should provide the old package name: xxx in the spec file.
Problem:
I've looked into the pages of rpm.org looking for whether we can specify the version which we provided in the spec file like:
Provides: xxx = 16.0
I've done some test and it seems to work. But I can't find any offical explanation.
Does anyone else know the properly behaviour if I specified the provides package version in the Provides.
