Vinay Sajip reworded the 'Provides-Dist' definition to explicitly say:
The use of multiple names in this field *must not* be used for bundling distributions together. It is intended for use when projects are forked and merged over time ...
(1) Then how *should* the "bundle-of-several-components" case be represented? (2) How is 'Provides-Dist' different from 'Obsoletes-Dist'? The only difference I can see is that it may be a bit more polite to people who do want to install multiple versions of a (possibly abstract) package. -jJ -- If there are still threading problems with my replies, please email me with details, so that I can try to resolve them. -jJ
