Hello,
Is there any way to alter a package's Release number in OBS? For
example, I want to build a package foo-5.1, which will override user's
own foo-4.1 in auto update, so that I need to change the Release number
to 5.1 from the initial 1.1.
I think you're confused a little
packages have the form
foo-5.1-3.1
where 5.1 is the *version* and 3.1 is the *release*
5.1 is what you control
3.1 is not.
but since OBS guarantees that it only goes up... I don't think the situation
that you mention can actually happen
It can't happen to us in MeeGo, but if you are a customer who, for some reason
needs to rebuild a package then it most certainly can. I'd like us to be more
supportive of letting MeeGo be used in ways it's not "expected" to be used.
There are other issues around this too but to answer the OP's question, yes you
can do this using the <SPEC_REL> macro.
