What's the recommended practice, if any, for declaring conflicts between egg distributions? The use case I have in mind is changing dependencies between packages A and B: * A-1 depends on B-1, but not the other way around, * I want to make B-2 depend on A-2, but not the other way around, * and I want to make sure that if someone has A-1 and B-1 installed, they cannot upgrade only A, because A-2 and B-1 conflict in terms of functionality. AFAICS, nothing prevents people from upgrading only A if only dependencies, but no conflicts are declared. I didn't find any documented way of declaring conflicts, though. -- Thomas
