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

Adding to the above, spturtle has suggested using pkgconfig()
