Good to know, but I still think it is worthwhile adding the obsoletes so that SCL users who may not realise the repo changed get transparently migrated to the supported solution.
I agree that this would be a good idea, and probably the original intention.
If it's OK with the CentOS developers to obsolete their package then you can send a PR to https://github.com/sclorg-distgit/centos-release-sclo/tree/el6 (the 'el6' branch) to add Obsoletes/Provides. The EVR of the package should already be higher in preparation.
it does not seem there is any documentation on how to use the new system.
I did wonder if I missed a page upon reading your previous message!
Indeed, the /SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo page is mostly administrative with information for members of the SIG, not users. /SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo/CollectionsList is the closest we have.
Thanks for your help!
