I have encountered a situation where a newer version of package I used to build in my instance of Koji is now provided by an external repository. Until recently, everything has worked fine because the package was only a runtime dependency, so as long as the external repository was configured in Yum, the newer version would be installed. Now, though, that package, specifically the new version of it, is needed at build time, and I cannot figure out how to make this work.
Since there is a build of the package tagged, via inheritance, into my build tag, Koji always prefers that version, even though it is older than the version in the external repository. I have tried blocking the package, but this makes it unavailable entirely. Is there any way I can get around this problem. The only thing I can come up with is to remove the inherited tag and copy the builds in it directly into my new tag, but I am hoping there is a better or simpler way.
