[Mageia-dev] Standardising the virtual Provides in -devel packages

Hello.
+
+I've had a rather vague idea about standardising the virtual provides
+in the distro, there should be:
+Provides: %{name}-devel
+Provides: lib%{name}-devel
+
+either both of them in _all_ packages, or one of them in _all_
+packages, so that we don't have to check urpmq --provides all the
+time. Personally, I am more inclined on having them both, so as not to
+break already working specs.
+
+For example:
+$ urpmq --provides lib64gudev1.0-devel-166-5.mga1.x86_64
+libgudev-devel[== 166-5.mga1]
+pkgconfig(gudev-1.0)[== 166]
+devel(libgudev-1.0(64bit))
+lib64gudev1.0-devel[== 166-5.mga1]
+lib64gudev1.0-devel(x86-64)[== 166-5.mga1]
+
+only libgudev-devel, so if I put BR gudev-devel in a spec it won't
+work, whereas I'd expect it to work since some other packages have
+such similar provides:
+$ urpmq --provides lib64dbus-1-devel
+libdbus-1-devel[== 1.4.1-3.mga1]
+libdbus-devel[== 1.4.1-3.mga1]
+dbus-devel[== 1.4.1-3.mga1]
+[...]
+
+
+WDYT?
+
+(If we agree to go one way or the other, will just fix them gradually
+over time).
