Try to wrap up replace in rpm

[Artoria2e5]

PKGREP is not working in rpm, and rpm does not has a replace field.

obsolete may be a solution but it requires something to do with the version number.

I am actually afraid that autobuild will use change its define variable pattern to support this.

How about foo < $PKGVER？

@MingCongBai Shall we consider the use of a metapackage? Btw we need something like vercmp in PKGBUILD, which should work like sort -V.

@MingcongBai

if cannot obsolete, then
  Build an empty package with description `Replaced by foo`
  Btw Make it dependent on foo

[MingcongBai]

Not necessarily a good idea...

Done.

[MingcongBai]

Done, with Obsolete flag. Which works as proven.
