[packman] [PM] pulseaudio 0.9.7 (openSUSE 10.3/x86_64)

[Wade Berrier]

Hi Toni,

I installed pulseaudio from 10.3, and then upgraded all packages from
packman with zypper.

The problem is that not all of my installed pulse packages were
upgraded:

berrier:/ # rpm -qa | grep pul

**pulseaudio-devel-0.9.6-39
libao-pulse-0.9.3-32
pulseaudio-0.9.7-0.pm.2
alsa-plugins-pulse-1.0.14-41
gstreamer010-pulse-0.9.5-0.pm.1
libpulsecore4-0.9.7-0.pm.2
**pulseaudio-libs-0.9.6-39

There's not an upgrade path for:

pulseaudio-devel
pulseaudio-libs

You could add obsoletes/provides so that libpulse-devel is installed and
pulseaudio-libs removed, but it seems it would be simpler to use the
same packaging scheme that pulseaudio uses in 10.3.

What are the benefits to splitting the libs into subpackages?  Doing so
seems to complicates the upgrade path.

Thanks!

Wade
