This doesn't really seem to address what I was talking about (or at

it doesn't contradict it, the quoted section could apply to everything I described easily). I'm talking mainly about the default naming
convention
in centosplus of packages that supercede a package in the core package
set.
I included an example of an RPM built against another package in
centosplus
because much of this thread has been about addressing how to
accomplish
that in manner that is consistent and intuitive.
You have to consider upstream, because they aren't going to add "Obsoletes: php5" to their php packages.
My only concern with php-5.1.6 in centosplus is that RHEL5-beta1 is currently using 5.1.4. Sure it's just beta1 and it may change, but if it doesn't that will make for a slightly trickier upgrade for some people at some point in the future. For example the RHWAS php rpm is newer than the RHEL5-beta1 rpm but has a lower version# (5.1.4-1 vs 5.1.4-8). I am sure that is intentional so an upgrade to RHEL5 upgrades php.
