2976 A list of package name aliases that a package also provides.
2977 These aliases are useful for satisfying runtime dependencies
2978 of other packages both during the build and on the target
2979 (as specified by
2980 <filename><link linkend='var-RDEPENDS'>RDEPENDS</link></filename>).
2981 <note>
2982 A package's own name is implicitly already in its
2983 <filename>RPROVIDES</filename> list.

2987 As with all package-controlling variables, you must always
2988 use the variable in conjunction with a package name override.
2989 Here is an example:
2990 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
2991 RPROVIDES_${PN} = "widget-abi-2"
2992 </literallayout>
