Creating empty sub package with
sub_package_CATEGORY="_obsolete"
is correct?
That's more appropriate for a rename/replace e.g.
old_pkg_CATEGORY=_obsolete
old_pkg_SUMMARY="obsolete name for libpkg-devel"
old_pkg_CONTENTS= # empty
old_pkg_REQUIRES=libpkg-devel
Or just deleting the sub package?
How would you do that?
Not producing it leaves the old release around.
