I'm trying to run pungi to create a munged/tailored repository,
using the official versions of Fedora & Updates. Sadly, it
seems that the original package always seems to override the
one with my modifications, e.g.
xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-40.fc8.src.rpm
is chosen, even when both it and
xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-40_AM.fc8.src.rpm
are present.
Is there a way to set the version so that my package always
wins? That way, I can use the 100% official repositories as
the starting point and only have my little mods.
When you modify the package, just add a .1 after the %{?dist}
declaration.
In your case, if you use rpmdev-vercomp you'll see that contrary to
what you'd think, xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-40.fc8 is actually rpm newer
than xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-40_AM.fc8:
$ rpmdev-vercmp 0:1.3.0.0-40.fc8 0:1.3.0.0-40_AM.fc8
0:1.3.0.0-40.fc8 is newer
But with a simple '.1' at the end of %{?dist} you get a newer package:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] scripts]$ rpmdev-vercmp 0:1.3.0.0-40.fc8 0:1.3.0.0-40.fc8.1
0:1.3.0.0-40.fc8.1 is newer
Cool, thanks! 'rpmdev-vercmp' seems to be a very nice tool
to know about.
