      Is it possible to add an additional field to our RPM packages that could indicate just "mongodb-server" without Enterprise or Community as a means of highlighting a dependency for MongoDB itself? This could be with or without a corresponding version number.

      EDIT: This may be possible using a virtual package specified with a provides tag per this RPM feature.

      The current output of the Community RPM returns:

      $ rpm -q mongodb-org-server --provides
config(mongodb-org-server) = 2.6.10-1
mongo-10gen-server
mongodb-org-server = 2.6.10-1

      The proposal would be:

      $ rpm -q mongodb-org-server --provides
config(mongodb-org-server) = 2.6.10-1
mongo-10gen-server
mongodb-org-server = 2.6.10-1
mongodb-server

      The current output of the Enterprise RPM returns:

      $ rpm -q mongodb-enterprise-server-2.6.10 --provides
mongo-10gen-enterprise-server
mongodb-enterprise-server = 2.6.10-1.el7

      Similarly for the Enterprise RPMs, the proposal would be:

      $ rpm -q mongodb-enterprise-server-2.6.10 --provides
mongo-10gen-enterprise-server
mongodb-enterprise-server = 2.6.10-1.el7
mongodb-server
