python2-talloc conflicts on EL7 #3

Closed sprintman closed 5 years ago

sprintman commented 5 years ago

python2-talloc-2.1.14 obseletes pytalloc < 2.1.3, but the current release in Centos 7.6 is pytalloc-2.1.13.

Whilst is is easy to bump the version in the spec file, I would prefer if it kept the pytalloc package name so as to not cause issues with future Centos updates. (Same with python-tdb/python2-tdb)

pytalloc is blatantly misnamed. I'm reluctant to continue what was an exceptionally foolish package name.

Can this cause conflicts when, say, Centos 7.7 is released with pytalloc-2.1.20? I don't know all the intricacies of how RPM/YUM works, but it seems prudent to keep the official distribution package name where possible.

It may require manual attention when doing a "yum -y update", but I was pretty careful to use "Provides:" and "Conflicts:" and "Obsoletes:" for modules from upsream that violated the python module naming convictions.
