I doubt it will change anytime soon (we should ask a yum developer), but I think that versioning is something much more solid we should rely on for this mechanism. I forget if providing a higher version of a capability means it gets pulled automatically on yum update... If not though, this would work well: Add Requires: uqm(data) to uqm Add Provides: uqm(data) = 1 to autodownloader Add Provides: uqm(data) = 2 to uqm-content This way it will be satisfied with autodownloader, but prefer uqm-content by version and by name. Either way, I guess it comes down to whether or not we can trust the naming rule being around for a while. If the yum devs promise it won't go away in the near future, then I think the plan you outlined is great. Stewart
