Agreed, it's useless having both, as the latter is the same but with mpg123
support. I'm just curious if "obsolete" would be better. I'm not sure how yum
works with this but for future use, I wouldn't want someone to install a
love-freeworld requiring package, only to have an error because love is already
installed via Fedora. If I put "provides: love = %{version}" would yum figure
out to "yum erase --nodeps love && yum install love-freeworld" if something
requiring the latter was installed?

I'll try to make love and love-unstable compatible with each other, as I know
some games are glitchy on the unstable.

Yep, I got them all packaged; i'll fix up the love packages once I get home
tonight and submit them :)
