Do we need
RPROVIDES:${PN} = "exfat-utils"
as well?
It used to be necessary for automatic update from one package to its
replacement at least with opkg (I haven't tried on target migrations for
quite some time now).

Hi Martin, Thank you for your code review. Martin Jansa wrote : > Do we need > RPROVIDES:${PN} = "exfat-utils" > as well? I hesitated on this one. While exfatprogs provides the same tools as exfat-utils, there are a few differences. 1. In exfat-utils, `mkfs.exfat` is a symlink to `mkexfatfs` ; exfatprogs does not provide `mkexfatfs`. 2. Some options have different names. For instance, exfat-utils uses "-n" to set the volume label whereas exfatprogs uses "-L" (like e2fsprogs, xfsprogs). How do we convey the message that "exfatprogs replaces exfat-utils but is not 100% compatible"? Also, I believe that exfatprogs is better than exfat-utils. For instance, exfatprogs correctly format drives whose sector size is 4096 bytes whereas exfat-utils does not. With best regards, -- Christophe Vu-Brugier

Otherwise existing images will stay "stuck" with some old version of exfat-utils and package manager won't "update" them to exfatprogs. So it might be tricky, but if you're confident enough to remove the recipe and to set RREPLACES/RCONFLICTS in package, then I think RPROVIDES doesn't make it more dangerous :) - probably less, because on target update on older image will end with the same exfatprogs as freshly baked image.
