Well that works well when the package itself removes the feature, but if the package removal is caused by a dependancy it breaks if anyone build something else than the official build.
I guess the package guidelines will explicitly not support that, but still it's terrible UX if someone uses anything else than an official build. In addition the hardcoded version will also work for everyone who used any other custom build package, just not the "later" ones.
Finally the '11.4.0' doesn't even match what Fedora 42 ships, (11.0.0-5.fc42) so I don't really understand why we can't use the latest version macro in this case.
Actually now I've had coffee, I remember that we had a user complaining that we should not have added the Obsoletes at all in this case.
While ZFS was removed from Fedora, it is still possible to get the ZFS tools and use them on Fedora with libvirt.
We have precedent here with enabling cloud hypervisor and virtualbox both of which require 3rd party tools to be installed.
Agreed; In such case though IMO we need to also change that 'daemon-driver-storage' no longer 'Requires' libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-zfs, but rather 'Recommends' or drop it completely since it's useless without extra installation.
I vote for completely dropping it from 'daemon-driver-storage' dependency on Fedora 43 and later.
Yep, lets just drop the Requires dep entirely on new enough Fedora, as we can't assume RPM package names for anything outside Fedora repos.
