[Fedora-directory-devel] Proposal: name the new core package "fedora-ds-core"

[Richard Megginson]

As we found out the hard way, the new Fedora Extras fedora-ds package 
conflicts with existing fedora-ds 1.0.x installations.  I've tried
Conflicts: fedora-ds < 1.1
and
Conflicts: fedora-ds <= 1.0.4
neither one prevents you from installing fedora-ds 1.1 on top of your 
fedora-ds 1.0.4 installation and removing the admin server and console.

I propose that we change the package naming to reflect the actual 
contents.  So, the current fedora-ds 1.1 would be called fedora-ds-core, 
which is really what it is - the core LDAP server and command line tools 
- the core functionality.

Subsequent packages would follow this convention: fedora-ds-admin, 
fedora-ds-console, etc.  We could then have a fedora-ds "meta package" 
which had nothing in it but dependencies on fedora-ds-core, 
fedora-ds-admin, etc. and perhaps a few scripts, so that you could 'yum 
install fedora-ds' and it would install the same functionality as the 
fedora-ds 1.0.4 package.
