[Fedora-packaging] Renaming of upstream project/rpm/binary

Hi!

This is not yet happening, but the upstream project wants to do a
rename and release several "binaries" under the new project name. The
current binary and package is one of them:

Now:

project name: foo -->
rpm: foo  --> binary: foo

Soon:

project name: FOOBAR -->
rpm FOOBAR --> binary foo
                    --> binary bar
                    --> binary ernie
                    --> binary bert

foo 1.8 --> foobar 2.0

What are the procedures for this? Formal and technical ones? In
particular regarding the "updates". How can I make the old package be
superseeded by the new package.

THX
/Federico
