rpms for openvoxdb, openvox-server, etc - add Replaces and Obsoletes

[tskirvin]

I run an AlmaLinux shop (rpm based), and I'd like to cleanly migrate from puppet-server to openvox-server, puppetdb to openvoxdb, etc. With the client, we were able to configure the rpms to cleanly upgrade from puppet-agent to openvox-agent by adding these fields to the spec file:

Replaces: puppet-agent
Obsoletes: puppet-agent

(Note the lack of version numbers, which is non-standard but it necessary here.)

I want to do the same thing with openvoxdb, openvox-server, openvoxdb-termini, and any other related rpms that I'm forgetting about.

The problem is that I can't figure out how. The build systems for the server, db, etc projects is not the same as it for the client; it uses ezbake, which is a leinengen plugin. There doesn't appear to be a place to add those fields in the build process.

This isn't quite a show-stopper for our migration, but it certainly ramps up the problem aggressively; I have plenty of existing puppet modules that are looking for puppetdb or puppet-server in particular, and I don't want to spend too much time fighting with them. And right now, trying to test rpms one at a time is a no-go, because these rpms directly conflict with each other (deploying the same files, etc).

Where do we start to fix this?
